Version Numbers - Precedence

2006-06-24 Thread Asif Lodhi

Hi,

Mathematically speaking, the 5.0.22 I am using came _before_   5.0.5.
Is that correct?  Or 5.0.5 came first and then came 5.0.22?

Hi,

I am replying to my own post to clarify my query.  Actually, I have
5.0.22 installed and I want to use the BIT data-type on InnoDB Engine.
Can I do it or do I have to install 5.0.5 version (which is not
stable) ?

TIA

mathematically speaking, there no such number like 5.0.5 anyway...
5.05 perhaps...

MySQL are numbered according to a X.Y.Z release number.
X : is the major version, where major uplift and features are added
(such as triggers, stored procedures)
Y : is the minor release, where few features are added (events, partitionning)
Z : is the revision number. No new features are added, only bugfix and
security fix.
and they are separated by dots.

5.0.5 being an beta release, I'll suggest to upgrade to the latest 5.0.z :-)
