10-Year-Old MySQL Bug
Omer Barnir (via Peter Steinberger):
When rows of a table are updated/deleted indirectly as a result of a foreign key definition on the table, triggers on that table are not executed as required[…]
There is no clean workaround that could achieve this functionality. I appreciate the work that the Mysql has put into this wonderful DBMS, but why not just go a little bit further to make this a complete product? I would really, really appreciate if someone can address this problem, which frankly, is a bug because this makes Mysql non-ACID compliant.

If you're still using the laughably-bad "MyISAM" tables (and many are), then MySQL was never ACID-compliant.
Still? I remember having to switch from InnoDB to MyISAM because my DB admins couldn't back up InnoDB. And later I had to downgrade again to Oracle. That was back when I used to work for the government.
