Hah! I have MySQL 5 Alpha, phpBB2 refuses to install. Although it’s not a MySQL fault ;) …

Is that a cloud on Mysql5 that Oracle bought InnoDB?

Will Mysql buy InnoDB engine in the future?

3.2x is still widely used because it is fast, rock solid, stable, works with all version of PHP, etc.. etc.. etc… Version 4.1 is great – but still does not have the reputation the 3 versions have.

Many hosting company’s will not make the switch because version 5 is too advanced for the basic user, and it costs! The joy of MySQL was always it’s simplicity and it’s speed. Version makes pushes it into a “less innocent” stage of the product.

NOW – for those of us who build and use our own servers – or need the power of the extra features – the release of VER 5 is GREAT NEWS!!! To have the extra features, at a very humble cost is welcome in my eyes.

With all that said – I’m sticking on my VER 4.1 as I never trust a .0 version of anything – LOL!

Responsible hosts will do a lot of testing before they turn their customers loose on it. Mine is planning to do just that, and for that I’m grateful.

yes, i read one of the articles on stored procedures (linked to from here i think), but are there any docs on how to use stored procedures in mysql5 with php (if at all) yet?
i haven’t seen any
i have seen the way that it needs to be done with postgresql on php.net, not sure if that will work with mysql5 though

Well there is the small matter of the $295 or so for the new version…. which may or may not be significant to hosts….

my host still uses 3.23. I should probably find another host, huh?
