 MySQL notes
 ===========
 
-Django expects the database to support transactions, referential integrity,
-and Unicode support (UTF-8 encoding). Fortunately, MySQL_ has all these
-features as available as far back as 3.23. While it may be possible to use
-3.23 or 4.0, you'll probably have less trouble if you use 4.1 or 5.0.
