Thats right, mysql handles this for us. Paul may be thinking to make it less
mysql specific tho, so that it would still work with another database engine
that doesnt have this neat feature.
Speaking of neat features, now mysql 4 is stable, i cant wait to ply with
the query cache, i think it will give us lots of improvements especially in
circulation.
