MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released

Brian "Krow" Aker (Former Slashdot Coder now MySQL Employee) writes "I am pleased to announce the release candidate for MySQL 5.0. This version has been in development now for three years. We have worked to add update-able views, ansi stored procedures, and triggers. In addition we have added a number of fun features that we are experimenting with and resolved issues with bad data inserts (which personally annoyed the hell out of me when we rewrote Slashdot a couple of years back so I am happy to see this issue go away). We look forward to feedback on the candidate and will show some love for bug reports."

    Earlier this year I went on a motorbike trip and ended up at a gas station where another biker had just finished emptying his tank because he filled it with diesel instead of gas. Man, was he ever pissed off. Not the least bit jolly about the whole situation. He was swearing his face off at other bikers who were just trying to have a friendly chat, while his wife looked away in embarrassment.
