Updates on MySql

New Release of MySQL Community Edition (4.1.10a) is Now Available

This is a maintenance release of the 4.1 version, mainly fixing recently discovered bugs. This release includes:

  • Security improvement: The server creates .frm, .MYD, .MYI,.MRG, .ISD, and .ISM table files only if a file with the same name does not already exist
  • Security improvement: User-defined functions should have at least one symbol defined in addition to the `xxx' symbol that corresponds to the main `xxx()' function.
  • Please note that these changes affect the way in which User Defined Functions (UDF) are loaded. Please refer to the section "User-defined Function Security Precautions" in the manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/udf-security.html

New Release of MySQL (4.0.24) is Now Available

This release includes:

  • 'InnoDB': Added configuration option and settable global variable 'innodb_autoextend_increment' for setting the size in megabytes by which 'InnoDB' tablespaces are extended when they become full. The default value is 8, corresponding to the fixed increment of 8MB in previous versions of MySQL.Schemas replace the user/user-group feature.
  • InnoDB: Do not acquire an internal 'InnoDB' table lock in 'LOCK TABLES' if 'AUTOCOMMIT=1'. This helps in porting old 'MyISAM' applications to `InnoDB'. 'InnoDB' table locks in that case caused deadlocks very easily.
