    What makes a DB engine capable of handling mass tasks ?

    We all know that by using something like Access as the DB engine for a website, it will collapse under not too many requests placed on it.

    Thereas say mySQL will handle mass requests extremely adequately.

    My question is what actually is the technical explanation for this ?

    Is it to do with intelligently handled indexing and intelligently handled record & index block locking ? What else ?
