I think that to avoid this database problem you will have to move to
PostgreSQL (which is what the Galaxy team recommend), or possibly
MySQL (not sure what the downsides are). This might be hard if you
already have a number of users and datafiles.

I've CC'd the list again so hopefully Nate or one of the other Galaxy
Devs can confirm this.
