Oracle Releases MySQL 5.5

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-and-improved dept.

darthcamaro writes "Two years after Sun released MySQL 5.1, Oracle has picked up the ball with the official release of MySQL 5.5. New features include semi-synchronous replication, InnoDB by default and new SIGNAL/RESIGNAL support for exception handling. Above all, Oracle stressed that they are committed to further MySQL open source development and that they see it as a complementary technology to their proprietary Oracle database."

    If I absolutely needed 100% data integrity, I'd write my own server. And I certainly wouldn't use SQL.

    ....and your credibility just flew out the window. Data integrity is the mission of SQL relational databases and has been developed with that in mind for nearly 40 years.

    No doubt, something you whip up in your basement will be much better...
