Paul,
I'm not sure if this is in the manual, but do you have some sort of general
timeframe when mySQL 4.0
will be available for the masses?

but still they are begining to show signs of their age. Mysql develops very

There are hopes for a 2nd edition of the New Riders book. However, at
the moment that's a little premature, because I want it to cover MySQL 4.0,
and, while good progress is being made on that version, it *is* still
very much in progress. Also, I'm very busy right now on a couple of
other MySQL-related books, which kinda takes up most (all) of my time at
the moment. :-)
