i am a newbie in this mysql path...
what are the diferences between mysql 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0
I work mostly with Ms-SQL 2003.
any sugestion? any answer? any help would be nice!
I did a Google search for "mysql" and the top hit was
http://www.mysql.com/
the official MySQL main page. I searched for Documentation and found
a link on the page pointing to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
It links to manuals for each of the versions that you want.
I clicked on "MySQL 6.0 Reference Manual" to go to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/index.html
the main page for the version 6.0 manual. A link near the top,
"1 General Information", looked good. It points to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/introduction.html
It has interesting links like
1.4. Overview of the MySQL Database Management System
1.4.1. What is MySQL?
1.4.2. History of MySQL
1.4.3. The Main Features of MySQL
1.5. MySQL Development Roadmap
1.5.1. What's New in MySQL 6.0
It looks like you should start there.
Near the bottom is a link for details, "C MySQL Change History", which
points to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/news.html
It has a LOT of links to changes from each sub version to each
succeeding sub version. For example, each of 6.0.0, 6.0.1,
... through 6.0.5 has its own page.
Note that there are listings for MySQL 6.0.x and 5.2.x. I saw a
suggestion on a page on another site that 5.2 was relabelled 6.0.
(The 5.1 manual similarly has changes for 5.1.x, et cetera.) There
are also links for a lot of other different projects, like "C.5 MySQL
Visual Studio Plugin Change History".
And, unfortunately, those change logs are extremely detailed, probably
more detailed that you want to see. For example,
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE is now supported.
is a general note, but most are like
Creating a table with a 19 digit DECIMAL column would cause
incorrect data to be stored. ...
which seems like an obscure and relatively minor bug.
