Faults

[Marco Pappalardo]

Hi all!
I'm thinking about using MySql in an application over an unstable system.
Database will probably be subject to system crashes and unexpected lack of
power supply.
So I need the database has a strong Persistence policy and, if possible,
that it allows the user
to set some "parameters" to increase fault recovery and persistence
capabilities.

Anyone of you can explain MySql capabilities about that to me?
What about MySql in fault recovery?
The main aspect I'm interested in is avoiding data loss. So I want that any
change to database must immediatly (or at least on regular intervals) be
made persistent. Is there any configurable parameter to do this?
