Poll who uses which MySQl?
 

Would like to see how much MySql5 is in use already. or who still uses 4

You should have an I use all 3 options for weirdos like me ;)

Looks like MySql5 is loosing ground! Darn, I gambled a lot of money there ...

I've had all three and just had 4.0 and 5.0 tell the other day.

Replied for PEQ. As for myself, I have a 4.1 server and a 5.0. Personally, I actually like the 4.1 better. Seems to outperform 5.0 on my servers.

So far, my 4.1 on Linux smokes the pants off anything I ever tried on Windoze. I think 5.x, while newer and more fancy, is also slower because of the fatness being added. Good fatness, nonetheless.

I agree 100%

Let me just clarify.

I do agree MySQL 5.0 would be best to migrate to. Not so much for the features but for the fact that it is an active project and not obsolete. EQEmu needs to move forward.

However, I have to admit MySQL 4.1 is faster and uses less resources than 5.0. I won't hide that fact and tell everybody 5.0 is better in every way when it isn't.

As for 4.0, well it lacks the features of the above and also is slower than both. I voted for it because that is what PEQ runs, atm. It's obsolete unsupported software. HOWEVER, I do not want it to be forgotten at first. If a migration to 5.0 takes place, I do not want EQEmu to change to prevent use of 4.0 or 4.1. It should be backwards compatible, for at least the first year or so. Likewise, when 5.1 and 5.2 and so forth are out, I do not want 5.0 forgotten about. People deserve a choice.

Lol - that's ok , just so long as you voted for 5.0, and made the bar fatter too :)

Believe it or not, I've had the best results (under linux anyway) with mysql 5.x vs. 4.x

I know you target 4.x still, but 5.x is just a better overall experience for me. Less problems across the board.

I made this thread sticky, and gave it a mild "bump" see if we can't get in some more votes :)

When I started mySQL it was a 4.1. I needed it because PHPbb2 wouldn't accept any thing newer. Then a few months later they did. MySQL 5 is for me the most.

In 4.1 the Admin tool would load tables faster and didn't have an extra table on install. However the quary tool runs faster on 5 when building results.

MySQL 5 - The Way it's mean to be stored!

MS Access ftw.

I don't know if I should laugh or hate you...

A little late to the party, but MySQL 5... hang on... 5.0.27.

Gotta have them views...
