Hi,

Of course it will. That's why they make the Berkeley tables optional.

Their idea is that you use the Berkeley stuff for the tables which really
require transactions, HEAP tables for in-memory cache/temp/whatever,
and the standard MyISAM tables otherwise.

Real-world example: Your customers' account balance really should be
transaction safe, and all that. But not their address, or their
clicktrail through your online shop system.
