Mysql 5.1 Is Out!

MySQL 5.1 is out!

Available from FTP-mirrors like

ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/

So now we will have to check SQLyog with this one!

At this very moment there is only the source distribution and the “noinstall” binary for Windows available. But that probably is a matter of hours only!

Also some 'Whitepapers' or something like that on how to get started with the new stuff would be nice!

My God – it is the slowest download I ever experienced from a Sun FTP-site!!

Probably quite a lot of people that have found out!

MySQL 5.1/SQLyog status:

Just an update:

MySQL 5.1.4 was released this morning. Get it from the same FTP-mirror for instance. It is still alpha and there is still only a win-version without installer.

Just one more follow up. The MySQL 5.1.5 tree has been closed, so it will probably be available for download very soon.

5.1.5 adds a new feature: XML document handling. It is VERY interesting in my opinion! http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articl…ql-5.1-xml.html

5.1.6 will add an EVENT feature: at feature to schedule execution of SQL-statements. Compared to SQLyog 'Notifications Services' it has the advantage that it is implemented with the server itself so no client must connect to trigger an EVENT. However it is not as flexible as NS – for instance you may schedule an EVENT with more statements but there is no way to predict in what order they are executed (!). Not completely useless but also not very interesting in my opinion. Judge yourself: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articl…nt-feature.html.
