Generalization Hierarchies with MyISAM

Hi,

I am new to MySQL. I was wondering if using generalization/specialization hierachies are recommended for MyISAM tables in MySQL. I understand that there is no recursion in MySQL which would be nice to have for parent/child relationships. Also, since I am using MyISAM tables, concurrency would at times involve locking a parent and some of its children (locking many tables vs. locking a single table when hierarchies are not used). Would it be better to not use hierarchies?

Thanks. Any help is very much appreciated.
