There are 4 versions of MySQL currently available. In reverse order of a= ge: mysql60 -- this is early beta quality (read: it may eat your data) and wa= s the vehicle for MySQL to introduce various new table engines in an= attempt=20 to ensure their independence from Oracle. However, Sun bought MySQL and Oracle is in the process of buying Sun. Or= acle also previously bought Innobase (makers of InnoDB) and Sleepycat (writers= of Berkeley DB) so suddenly all of the current engine types are suddenly bac= k in the picture: hence mysql54 -- an incremental upgrade on mysql51. Late beta quality, good fo= r experimenters and developers, but not yet something that shoul= d be considered for mission critical applications Prior to that we have: mysql51 -- MySQL's current GA (generally available) release offering. It'= s=20 got a number of new features like stored procedures but depend= ing on your workloads it may or may not be faster than... mysql50 -- The previous GA version, and still the most widely deployed ve= rsion at the moment. It is still being actively maintained even if it = is pretty much down-played on MySQL's website. This is a version that h= as been in all sorts of production use for years and pretty thoroughly= debugged, hence a very safe choice. In summary: choose either of mysql50 or mysql51 according to preference o= r your particular requirements.
