Mysql Transactions & Replication

James Cox has been using MySQL since the beginning of version three, when he needed to integrate interactivity into his websites. Since then he has managed to break almost every aspect of MySQL, implementing it in different situations. James also works closely with the PHP project, currently managing the servers to make sure they work correctly. James recently became one of the first people to pass the MySQL Core Certification exam, and so is one of the few certified MySQL engineers.
