We currently use gcc 2.95 to create our binary distribution. > While I'm on the subject, does BDB tables provide the same type of > locking that Gemini does? Is there any reason to favor Gemini over BDB? BDB locks on page level. You'll want to have a look at the InnoDB tables, which provide row-level locking and many other features. See http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/InnoDB.html If you're just starting out, I would recommend you grab the latest version from www.mysql.com (3.23.44 or 4.0.0 at the time of writing this message, but 3.23.45 will be out soon). Also, only compile from source if you really need to, otherwise it is recommended to use the binaries as provided by MySQL AB which have been compiled with optimal settings, and tested with our test suite before release.
