Well. Dear Plutark. The author are talking about a design of an INSTANCE
in the database in this case, not about the RDBMS it self - which I were
talking about.

I have hard to see how this speed issues could be related to the
fact that MySQL does not provides you with stored procedures?
In what way do you suggest to say that a SELECT statment or an allocation
of a connection would be slower just because the RDBMS provides you with
stored procedures? Please explain...

You can use any RDBMS with sufficient functionality to do that "banking
thing".
It is "just" a matter of planning strategies for your design of your
database
system and the database schema of that database system.

Who did mention Oracle? I didn't.... My original statment was:
"MySQL is even a worse RDBM's than I thought"
Anyhow: If I want to run Formula-1, then I don't buy a Vas Lada, just
because
most people don't want to run fast. Just because "most people just don't
_need_ transactions", doesn't implies that MySQL is a good RDBMS! And that's
my
point! MySQL is not a suitable RDBMS system in general, and from that point
I made my conclusion stated above.
>And on an unrelated issue, down with bloatware :)
Excuse an ignorant person, but I didn't get that one?
