Moving on to 4.1 in the future indeed would be great (as you say, per 2.2 release for example):
- support for unnamed views (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/unnamed-views.html) - more date manipulative functions (datediff for example) - more supported fieldtypes (timestamp for example) - etc. I'm sure the future move (I know, it's a long time away from now) would definitely increase query performance and bring along many benefits. However, mainstream server packages like Ensim - which lots of server are powered by - still are running 4.0 by default (don't know for sure about cPanel nor Plesk) so one has to cautious about a sudden swift in versions. Above that the userbase would be narrowed down immensively: only a select few having the latest versions on their (mostly shared) hosting will be able to run WP (that's why WP still is PHP 4 compatible). wbr, Bram. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Boren Sent: dinsdag 9 januari 2007 22:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wp-testers] Mysql Versions On 1/9/07, Doug Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 1/9/07, Brian Layman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Mysql 4.1+, IIRC, is required. > > I don't believe that's correct unless this has changed without someone > > commenting on it here.

There are still some 4.0 hosts out there though, so I was thinking maybe we require 4.0 for 2.1 and 4.1 for 2.2 to give people a little more lead time.
