My new webhost has these two mysql servers installed: MySQL 3.23.46 MySQL 4.0.1 alpha which I am going to choose between... (They say they first installed the alpha just for testing because some customers requested it, but then kept it because they then thought it was quite stable)
The best thing is of course great performance *and* great reliability (that the data doesn't change in a way it should not..) but the question is to know how *much* faster the alpha 4 is than the 3.23, and how *much* more reliable the 3.23 is ? So, more specifically, the question is if someone has made a test to compare these two database engines with databases with the same data, and testing the performance for the same queries, and also generated lots of updates (with many simultaneous simulated users) and checked if the result is as expected ? The transaction is indeed a nice feature, but only if you really can trust the rollbacks to be performed correctly, so has there been some reviews/tests for the reliability of the alpha 4 rollback functionality ? If someone does not know an exact URL to tests I am looking for, maybe someone has some generally interesting site tips about database web sites which is devoted to doing these kind of database engine tests/reviews ?
