It is my understanding that MySQL no longer does this on InnoDB
tables. Whether various bag-on-the-side table types are a good thing
I will leave to others; but there's no reason to go 'round making
claims about old versions of MySQL any more than there is a reason to
continue to talk about PostgreSQL not being crash safe. MySQL has
moved along nearly as quickly as PostgreSQL.
