Does anybody know of any stats regarding these two questions: 1. How many hosts are using which versions of MySQL. By hosts, I'm specifically interested in potential web servers. 2. What an appropriate minimum version for MySQL might be for Django 1.0+
Django, in case you don't know, is a framework which uses Python 2.3 and above. Right now it's kind of ambiguous what the minimum MySQL version would be for this framework - in theory, even 3.23 might work. One of the essential characteristics of Django is that it allows unicode in any variable - theoretically including any part of a table or index definition (although this is considered bad form - more unicode capability is a big plus in the Django world). For this and many other reasons, I'm inclined to think that MySQL 4.1 should be a minimum requirement for Django on MySQL. Due to the limited uptake of 4.1, I'm further inclined to think that 5.0 should be a minimum. Due to the fact that even Debian Etch (pretty much the most stable distro) has had MySQL 5.0 for a year and a half, I'm inclined to use their minimum of MySQL 5.0.32 as the minimum for Django 1.0. Django doesn't need to be profoundly portable, it simply needs to be able to handle most typical modern web server and development environments. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. -Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mysql" group.
