[Typo3-dev] Data integrity.

Hi all,
I'm currently porting a standalone application I wrote to a Typo3
extension, however I have run into a somewhat tricky problem on the DB
side of things. My original application relies rather heavily on foreign
key constraints in order to maintain the integrity of the data stored in
the DB. However Typo3 stores all its tables in the MyISAM format which,
annoyingly enough, doesn't support FK constraints. So, how do you guys
maintain the integrity of data stored in your tables? Is there some
clever hack or is the only option to, ugh, run integrity verification
queries before actually doing anything?

TIA,
Arne
