Of course, you're running an enterprise operating system, not openSUSE or Fedora. You're going to have the same version available to you for the life of the platform, unless there's no way to avoid upgrading a package for a security vulnerability. > In any case, if I install it via yast, do I select mysql, mysql-max, > mysql-client, mysql-devel, mysql-shared or do I install all of them ? What you install depends on what you want to do. If you want to run the server on your system, then select mysql, and YaST will figure out the dependencies. Most likely it will pull in mysql-shared. MySQL-max is the MAXDB (previously SAPDB) version of their product. It might be what you want, but probably isn't. If you want to write programs that make calls to a MySQL server, then mysql-devel would be your choice. If all you want is to have the run-time libraries on your system so that applications written to make MySQL calls will work, then just mysql-client. > If I could, I would like to get the current binaries for sles9. Install MySQL via YaST, then run online update. If there have been any updates for it, you'll get it.
