Well, except for one difference. InnoDB will allow you refer to
tables not controlled by the InnoDB table handler, whereas we don't
have that problem with MVCC. So under MVCC, by definition, you can't
have partial transaction failures. (Or, more precisely, any such
partial failure is a bug in PostgreSQL, but in MySQL it might be a
feature.)
