What do you mean? That EOF will clean up orphaned objects that didn't get cascade-deleted by EOF when the related object was deleted? No. If EOF loads rows that have invalid FKs in them, it will create a fault for that object, then when you go to try to follow that relationship and the fault is fired, you'd get a missing object exception. I've had to deal with this exact situation before.

How would transactions protect you from having an invalid FK if you don't have any FK constraints?

However I will say that I started using MySQL at 4.0, then 4.1 and now 5.0. Being the stickler for learning as much as I think I need to do something right, I bought the original Jeremy Zawodny book "Advanced MySQL" and that gave me a clear understanding and confidence of how to set the thing up. I have never used the cluster engine (NDB).... yet. I have always used InnoDB. I used MyISAM once for a readonly database (about 5 tables only) that has geocode lookups on tables of about 100 million rows because at the time it appeared faster (with mysql 4.0 at the time) to do points in radius operations which sometimes selected up to 500,000 rows in a select. My main ongoing project is InnoDB and every user is a user that does edits, with a small percentage of users absolutely hammering the database with production processing during business hours each day. I replicate to 3 slaves on that project purely for backup. It runs 24/7 and almost never have any "Scheduled Maintenance" downtime garbage because of the fact that the replication slaves are where the backups happen. One slave is remote and 2 onsite with the master. The binary logs on the master are written to a separate phyaical drive
