Which version of MySQL? Which threading libraries? Where do you get the MySQL software from? How do you install it? In all likelihood you'd be happier with less choice: just the right one. At MySQL, we're talking about how to simplify this mess^Wsituation. Obviously with my MySQL hat on, I'd recommend release 5.0; with my FreeBSD hat on, I'd recommend 6.1-RELEASE when it comes out next week. But that doesn't mean that you have to agree with me, and there are a number of other questions anyway. I'd like some feedback from users on the following questions: - Which version of FreeBSD are you running? - Which version of MySQL are you running? - If you're not running MySQL 5.0, why not? - Where do you get your MySQL software from? * From the MySQL web site? * From a FreeBSD CD/DVD distribution? * Package (precompiled) from the FreeBSD web site (either directly or via a mirror)? * From the ports collection? - Which threading library are you using? Why? - Have you had to change the default installation (different compile flags, different installation directories, etc.)? - Do you have any problems that you think are related to the choice of the version you're using? Normally I send messages to this forum with the following request: When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients. In this case, I'm expecting many answers. Clearly, individual answers are not as interesting as the statistics. Feel free to answer directly to me, or to copy the list, as you prefer. I'll summarize after a while. This message is *not* soliciting information about general problems you might have with MySQL. I'll certainly listen if you have this kind of problem, but please make it a separate message to this list.
