MySQL 5.1 Released, Not Quite Up To Par

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the time-to-fix-the-org dept.

Mad Merlin writes "It's no secret that MySQL 5.1 has been a long time in the making, with the first beta release being in Nov 2005, but MySQL 5.1.30 has finally been released as GA. MySQL users can expect new features such as table/index partitioning, row based replication, a new plugin architecture, an event scheduler and a host of performance improvements from 5.1." Monty also had a blog post outlining some of the challenges faced in 5.1, including crashing bugs and a beta quality to most new features.

    It's not the quantity, it's the quality of the bug. Not saying either product is better than the other but you're acting like a guy selling you a BMW 325i with a burtn out headlight is selling you the same thing as the other guy who is trying to sell you a 1982 Yugo Cabrio with a blown engine. After all, they both only have one problem...
