+ The Relational DAS uses PDO to access the relational database,

+ but at the time of writing has only been tested with MySQL 4.1.
+ On Windows it operates correctly with the php_pdo_mysql driver
+ that comes with the pre-built binaries in PHP 5.1.0b3.
+ On Linux it is necessary to have the most up-to-date PDO
+ driver for MySQL. It may be necessary to uninstall the usual
+ driver that would have come from PECL (using
+ <command>pear uninstall pdo_mysql</command>
+ ) and to enable pdo_mysql when configuring PHP, in order to pick up
+ the recent version built in to PHP.

+ The Relational DAS applies changes to the database within
+ a user-delimited transaction: that is, it issues a call to PDO's
+ <function>beginTransaction</function>
+ before beginning to apply changes, and
+ <function>commit</function>
+ or
+ <function>rollback</function>
+ on completion.
+ Whichever database is chosen, the database and the PDO driver
+ for the database must support these calls.
