Comment (by adamnelson):
I agree although I can't find anywhere where there is a minimum version
number for MySQL on Django in any of the official docs or even in the base
object. After trudging through the lists, I see talk of deprecating MySQL
4.0 nearly 2 years ago but it seems to be a dead topic. Ostensibly MySQL
3.23 would even work in the current codebase since MySQLdb supports it. I
honestly don't think that anybody could run Django 1.0 on MySQL 4.0 using
many of the core Django apps currently out there without running into
serious problems - mostly related to the lack of robust unicode support
before 4.1.
MySQL 4.1 would be the only reasonable minimum but virtually nobody is
using it which is why I think MySQL 5.0 is the realistic minimum. I'll
send my previous email to the group as I can't imagine that anybody would
be able to run Django 1.0 on MySQL 4.0 in a reliable fashion right now and
MySQL 5.0 has been stable for 3 years.
