The database cluster will be the backend to our own Customer Relation Management System that needs to be scaled to size and performance. In terms of what is and not is avail in the portage tree can we not just build 5.1 from binary source "how hard is this" lb_curses etc.... The problem with M<ySQL 5 was it had terrible seek time for inner and left joins, that is why I see ourselves going right to 5.1.
