You think SQL Server's expensive, I'm trying to ditch Oracle. I've been
using the 64-bit version of MySQL 4.x in production (dual Opteron) for
almost a year and I've no doubt Oracle and MS are sweating bullets right
about now.
Their August 2005 Newsletter came out today:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Products
New Release of MySQL (5.0.11 Beta) is Now Available
This Beta release in a pre-production release in the 5.0 series. This
release includes support for Stored Procedures, Views, Triggers,
Information Schema (Data Dictionary), XA and more. Additional updates
include:
- Security improvement: Applied a patch that addresses a potential zlib
data vulnerability that could result in an application crash. This only
affects the binaries for platforms that are linked statically against
the bundled zlib (most notably Microsoft Windows and HP-UX)
- Mysqldump now dumps triggers for each dumped table. This can be
suppressed with the –skip-triggers option.
- Added an optimization that avoids key access with NULL keys for the
ref method when used in outer joins.
- Numerous bug fixes
*All efforts are now being focused on fixing bugs and stabilizing MySQL
5.0 for the upcoming production release. Get a head start on your
projects by testing MySQL 5.0 beta now.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully it'll hit GA around October. I know someone who writes their
documentation, but he won't even give me an "I heard" date.

Haven't heard anything specific but I'm anxiously awaitin this one as
well. It might mean I can dump SQL Server in some cases.
