Whenever I see something like this, my first thought is "What
tabletype are you using?" InnoDB tables have the same recovery
capabilities as any other ACID-supporting table. MyISAM is the one
that can be corrupted, but you shouldn't be using MyISAM tables for
heavy CRUD. It wasn't designed for that - InnoDB was.

Furthermore, subselects are in MySQL 4.1 which has been out for over 2
years, not MySQL 5.
