4.1 is, essentially, and end of life product. Support for 4.1 is only available if you pay for a specific support contract. (see the big warning we placed on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html). We consider 5.0 to the currently recommended stable release. I'll update the documentation on the 5.1 page to highlight this fact, because it should have been changed already. MC -- Martin 'MC' Brown, mc at mcslp.com Everything MCslp: http://planet.mcslp.com
