MySQL 5.0.3-beta Released
Zontar The Mindless writes "MySQL Community Edition 5.0.3-beta has been released. This version has support for Stored Procedures, Triggers, Views and many other features, including a number of security enhancements and stability fixes. See the changelog for a complete listing of new features and bugfixes. MySQL 5.0.3-beta is now available in source and binary form for Linux, Solaris, MacOS X, FreeBSD, Windows, and other platforms from dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. RPMs for Red Hat/Fedora and SUSE Linux are also now available for the first time in the 5.0 series. This is the first Beta release in the 5.0 series, in preparation for a MySQL 5.0 production release later this year."
But MySQL is not a Real(R) Database(tm), everybody knows that! It doesn't support stored procedures, triggers, views and many other features that only Real Databases have! *Nobody* who knows anything about anything ever uses MySQL after they're out of kindergarten. Now let's go find a website that runs off MySQL so we can laugh and point fingers at the webmaster. Sheesh!
