Whoa!? I was just reading this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL), and noticed a few things... " <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_key> Foreign key support for all storage engines will likely be released with MySQL 5.2 (although it has been present since version 3.23.44 for <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InnoDB> InnoDB)." Does this mean that myISAM tables will have FK support? So I can then ditch this InnoDB with all the transaction bloat, and the fact that auto_increment PK resets itself. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-auto-increment-column.html And the second interesting thing is: "Support for <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing> parallelization is also part of the roadmap for future versions" Does this mean we can have several mySQL servers all running as "one", on different physical servers. Sort of like clustering, or maybe RAID-ish? What are the current roadmap dates(ish) for these features. And I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but when will 5.1 branch become GA (again, ballpark)? ÐÆ5ÏÐ PS. Here's a bit of trivia for you if you don't feel like reading the whole wikipedia page: "MySQL"'s official pronunciation of the name is "My Ess Que Ell", pronounced as /maɪ ɛs kjuː ɛl/, not "My sequel" /maɪ siːkwəl/. However, the company does not take issue with the pronunciation "My sequel" or other local variations.
The "My" portion of the name comes from the name of Widenius's child, spelled "My" but pronounced in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish> Swedish as mü /my/ (or approximately in English, "me"). The "SQL" portion uses the fully spelled-out pronunciation of the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym_and_initialism> initials, S-Q-L (Structured Query Language), not the "sequel" pronunciation. This adheres to the official ANSI pronunciation but conflicts with the earlier IBM database of that name.[5] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL#_note-3> The Swedish (MySQL AB is a Swedish company) word Myskväll (/myskvæl/ "cozy evening", or "My's evening" as Mys kväll) is pronounced in a similar way, but this may be a coincidence. Nevertheless this pronunciation is quite usual in Sweden. The dolphin symbol in the MySQL <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo> logo was given the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swati_language> Swati name Sakila in October 2002 after a naming contest
