I haven't read your problem at all, but I gotta say just ditch MySQL and download something else... you can get Oracle 10g or 9i for free, I think... maybe some licensing issues I dunno.
The devs of MySQL used to think that foreign keys were not needed... !!!!!
Sorry to be a purist, but Im a hardcore dev person and stuff like that just makes me angry
You can get Oracle 9 or 10 for free? What about support? The other thing that sucks is the lack of cheap tools to work with Oracle, except for TOAD which I hate....

I probably wouldn't change anytime soon, since mysql has done well for us, but I know Oracle is more performant and supports HA.
