MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it'll-be-awhile-before-we-get-to-upgrade dept.

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."

    And Oracle 7 for the two years before -- in a not-so-large database -- I think there is not much to fear...
