Fedora Core 3, which is the Linux distribution that i'm using, is still shipping with 3.23.58 The beta (test) version of Fedora 4 has mysql-4.1.10. However, FC4 is scheduled to go live on June 6th. But i need a MySQL server now.
This server will be mostly used for logging (think: syslog logging to SQL), so most of the time will just receive INSERTs on a permanent basis from a couple of sources, to a few tables (just a handful, all of them in two databases) that will be rotated periodically (all tables will be append-only - when they're too big, they're just rotated away and the very old ones are deleted when disk usage hits a threshold). Every now and then, a user or two will perform searches through the logs. Is there a big performance difference between 3.23 and 4.1 in such a case? I prefer to just use whatever's offered in the current distribution because i don't have much time to spend tweaking the system (upgrade MySQL, recompile PHP, verify SELinux policies, etc.), but if there is a really big performance difference, i may do the effort to upgrade MySQL to the one offered in FC4-test. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
