Hi jorg,
DO you have any idea when MySQL 5.0 is going to get into production.
Sujay, please
1) mail such questions to the list, not just to me personally
2) do not post above a full quote, it wastes readers' time, bandwidth,
and disk space.
Regarding your question:
"Get into production" strictly speaking means "will be used by customers
for production purposes". Obviously, I cannot answer this.
If you mean:
"... will be recommended by MySQL AB for production purposes",
the answer is: MySQL AB has published criteria for the various levels
("alpha", "beta", release candidate, production), and these take
precedence over any intended schedule.
Currently, 5.0 versions are labeled "beta", so they have to pass through
the "release candidate" (former: "gamma") level before they are
qualified "production". Nobody can tell in advance how soon that is
going to happen, but obviously MySQL is concentrating on that goal.
The decisions to label it "release candidate" and "production" also
depend on the feedback MySQL is getting:
the more reports there are, the greater is the certainty that customers
are using it, and any errors would have shown up and been reported.
So a greater feedback about positive experiences might help to shorten
the "beta" and "release candidate" phases.
