Mysql will be upgraded over the next week to the new 4.0.x line. This will bring the following improvements:
- The InnoDB storage engine is now included in the standard binaries, adding transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys.
- A query cache, offering vastly increased performance for many applications. By caching complete result sets, later identical queries can return instantly.
- Improved full-text indexing with boolean mode, truncation, and phrase searching.
- Enhanced MERGE tables, now supporting INSERT statements and AUTO_INCREMENT.
- UNION syntax in SELECT.
- Multiple-table DELETE statements.
- libmysqld, the embedded server library.
- Additional GRANT privilege options for even tighter control and security.
- Management of user resources in the GRANT system, particularly useful for ISPs and other hosting providers.
- Dynamic server variables, allowing configuration changes to be made without having to stop and restart the server.
- Improved replication code and features.
- Numerous new functions and options.
- Changes to existing code for enhanced performance and reliability.
We're excited about this upgrade and we hope you take advantage of its benefits.
