Hi,
I got some questions regarding MySQL 3.23.36 and MM.MySQL JDBC Driver. Hope
you could help me on this.
1. Can both products mentioned above working in Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 8.0?
You don't mention what version of MM.MySQL you're interested in, but since it's no longer called 'MM.MySQL', I assume an older one. You should look at MySQL Connector/J (what MM.MySQL has become). See http://www.mysql.com/products/connector-j/ for the various versions that are available.
Your MySQL version is pretty old, you probably want to look at 3.23.53a, or 4.0.4 beta, depending on whether or not you would find the features in 4.0.4 useful.
You will not be able to compile a version of MySQL that will work reliably on RedHat-8.0 yet, as they have a broken GLIBC. If you run up2date on RedHat-7.3, you might run into issues if you compile your own binary as well, due to GLIBC issues.
If you aren't sure if you need to compile your own version on RedHat Linux, I recommend that you don't, you'll have fewer problems.
However, if you use binary RPMs from MySQL AB, you should be fine with either 3.23.53a or 4.0.4, because when we compile our binaries for Linux, we staticaly link a known stable version of GLIBC with our binaries, so the version that is installed with your operating system (and sometimes has issues) does not affect our binaries.
2. What are the latest version of both products?
MySQL Stable - 3.23.53a MySQL BETA - 4.0.4
Connector/J Stable - 2.0.14 Connector/J Beta - 3.0.1
All of the products come with CHANGELOGs, which is the definitive answer to this question, as the list would be too long to include in an e-mail. For MySQL, the CHANGELOG is located in the manual:3. What are the differences between the latest version and both products mentioned above?
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/News.html
The CHANGELOGs for MySQL Connector/J are in a file named 'CHANGES' in the driver distribution, and are also summarized on the download pages for the drivers, which are referenced earlier in this e-mail.
4. Are both products free? If not, what is the pricing/licensing and the payment basis?
That depends on how you plan on using them. In most cases they are, but you really should read the manual section on this, as it explains the subject in far more than an e-mail could:
