about MySQL

I've been using MySQL for 2-3 years. As a matter of fact, it's the only database I'm comfortable with.

There are a only couple of things that I want for version 4:
- Nested SQL queries. Sometimes I find myself using the programming language (PHP, C) to execute multiple queries to do stuff that could really be done with a single nested query.
- Proper replication. I.e. with features that would make it useful for high-availability and load-balancing out-of-the-box. The current manual says that you must write your own scripts (!) for a MySQL HA setup.
