Hi John I've been using 3.x for over 18 months now, i upgrade my dev. system to the latest release as soon as it's available.
However, i deploy projects to many different servers usually running old versions of 3.x and i've been caught out a couple of times; it's not a pleasant feeling when you have to re-code for the lowest common denominator :( The last time this happened i had to re-code for loss of temporary memory tables and user defined variables functionality - that really sucked! :) Anyway, if you run your own servers then it may not be a problem because you can keep pace with the upgades. As for 4.x i would start running it on an alternate port and fully migrate to it once sub-selects (that's the one i've been waiting for) are available in version 4.1 Either way, PAM is an awesome combination you'll love more and more as you get used to it :) Regards Girish ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Snippe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 8:36 PM Subject: Re: mySQL : 3 or 4? > On 1/5/02, regarding" Re: mySQL : 3 or 4?
