Have you got a reference to this bug ?

yes, knowing what that bug is would be beneficial.

And regarding the version then Mysql 4.whateveristhelateststable sounds like the best match.

Mysql 5 is still in beta, correct ?

No.  5.0 went GA I guess 3rd Nov 2005.

But since we're in overlap period a Mysql 4.1.x server and 5.0.x server should still be considered mainstream (by me anyway).



With respect to isam and innodb I would say that innodb is the important one
since isam doesn't have proper tx isolation nor foreign key constraints and
as such is not really something we want to encourage.

Agreed. But I think the point he was making was that the same SQL server can be used to test both configurations and dialects. The cost of creating a new configuration and running a test isn't much extra as you already have the server setup.

Even if such tests were done much less frequently, like once a week. While concentrating efforts on whatever version is the latest GA with all the major players.

I'd have thought having access to a working SQL server from each vendor in each supported version series must be a useful resource just to have anyway. If you want pointers on installing/dual homing your test box with multiple MySQL servers drop me a mail.
