MySQL didn’t have transactions for years! A transaction layer can be implemented by adding a transaction table, a transaction column to each other table, and joining the two in your queries. where table.transaction_id = transaction.id and transaction.committed = true You would begin a transaction by inserting a new row and then updating it to committed when done. With some metaprogramming you may be able to do this all transparently.
