MySQL 3.23 has InnoDB support and therefore transactions and is the stable version since for two years now. The only change with 4.0 is that InnoDB is going to be part of the "MySQL" package instead of "MySQL-Max", as it was with 3.23. > But think about, if you really need this!!! > In versions 4.x (coming soon in a stable version) transactions, subselects > etc. would be available! Soon coming as stable is 4.0 (it is already good enough for production use, IMHO), but sub-selects are in 4.1, which is still declared alpha. The main features of 4.0 as listed on http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/News-4.0.x.html are: - a query cache (may vastly improve performance for many apps) - improved FULLTEXT indexing - MERGE table improvements - support for UNION in select - libmysqld, a embedded version of MySQL - more fine grained privileges (with GRANT) - dynamic server variables (change the configuration on the fly) - rewrite of replication with new features - and some other stuff HTH, Benjamin. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
