Dear MySQL developers and users,
Version 0.9.8 Beta of the PrimeBase XT storage engine for MySQL 5.1 has just been released.
PBXT is a transactional storage engine for MySQL which can be loaded dynamically by the pluggable storage engine API of MySQL 5.1. Full MVCC (multi-version concurrency control) support and a unique "write-once" strategy make PBXT particularly effective under heavy update loads.
The major feature of this new version is foreign key support. The implementation is similar to that of InnoDB and includes the RESTRICT, CASCADE and SET NULL options. Information about all changes can be found in the release notes:

The latest package can be downloaded from:

Step by step instructions on how to build and install PBXT as a pluggable storage engine are available here:

For subversion access, bug reporting and tracking, please go to sourceforge.net:

Binary versions of the plug-in for MySQL 5.1.14 under Linux and Mac OS X will also be available shortly.
Best regards,
Paul
