MySQL 5.0 is a milestone
- IT TOPICS:Enterprise Software & Services, Software
As expected, the news arrived this morning that MySQL 5.0 is now available for Production Use.
MySQL 5.0 is an important milestone, not just for the people at MySQL, but also for the open source community as a whole. It proves that it's possible to produce a professional quality software package with the support and back up of the community.
I'm still testing MySQL 5.0 - not the software, but the applications I run on it - it's going to take a while to be absolutely sure that everything is OK before I start deploying my applications on the new system. I've already started developing new projects and applications using a MySQL 5.0 server - it's only existing ones I'm worried about.
It will take some time to redevlop and reploy applications to take advantage of the new functionality. Triggers and stored procedures have a large number of uses and I can see me reducing the amount of additional management code I use simply by creating a suitable procedure or trigger.
Whether you use MySQL 5.0 or not, it's worth checking it out and seeing what it can do for you.
