Which binary should I use on HP 11.x?

2002-07-30 Thread John_Falasco


Is it possible to use the binary for HP 10.20
(mysql-3.23.51-hp-hpux10.20-hppa1) on HP 11.x? I know there is a later one
for HP 11 on sourceforge, but the one for HP 10.20 is listed as 'stable',
which is what I need. In a more general sense, can I use the stable
binaries on platforms that are later than those they were compiled for
(sun, aix, windows)?

My concern is, that I want to distribute stable binaries to customers whose
platforms I cannot control, and I'm not sure what the consequences are of
installing the 'older' binaries.

Thanks,
John

Which binary version for which platform?

2002-07-25 Thread John_Falasco

I have a product for which I would like to use mySql to hold information
used in a product demonstration. The product runs on Windows, HP, Solaris
and AIX. The demonstration (and the mySql database) will be distributed
with the product.

I am trying to determine the correct binary distribution of mySql to
distribute to end users. I would like to use stable releases only, in
binary format. For Windows, the correct release is pretty clear. However,
say a customer has HP 11.x. The current stable release on mysql.org is
for hp 10.20 (mysql-3.23.51-hp-hpux10.20-hppa1); there is a release on
sourceforge for hp 11.0 (mysql-hpux-11.0-hppa2), but is that considered
stable? If not, can they use the binary for 10.20 instead? What if the
customer later upgrades to a newer version of HP - must they then use a
different version of the binary? Similar question pertain to Solaris
(currently 2.8) and AIX (currently 4.3).

Thanks for any pointers.
John
