Oracle owns the mess now. I assume the next release will be 5.11, followed by 5.11i, and then finally dropping of the 5 to be in line with how they manager their os, leave it to just be 11i. To ensure it is smooth they will change the license and add $5k in suport costs.

My thoughts exactly! This article might help: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-54.html It worries me though that 5.1 went through a large number of alpha releases, then a set of beta releases before the GA release came out. It looks like they've thrown 5.4 straight out without anyone even being aware that it existed! Hell, 6.0 is on its tenth release and it's still in alpha. Like you say, it'd be interesting to see which blackhole 5.2 and 5.3 fell into...! Andy Daevid Vincent wrote: > Have I been in a coma or something? > > WTF happened to 5.2 and 5.3?
