You might also look at what was the SAP database that MySQL took over
and renamed MaxDB.  Look at http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/

It has:
Views
Server-side cursors
Stored procedures and triggers
Auto fallover to standby server
and others

I haven't used but it is worth checking out.

Have you noticed that a "slight tax increase" costs us at least two
hundred dollars a year, but a "substantial tax cut" saves us maybe
thirty cents?
