No, MySQL stands out here. Postgres, SQL Server, DB2, and Firebird all give at least some way to do some major DDL transactionally. Usability varies (e.g. Oracle supports a very specific kind of change that is not its normal DDL statements), but it's at least possible.

That MySQL autocommits is also even worse than just "doesn't support it."
