Sun Warns of Bugs as it Releases MySQL 5.1
Sun has released version 5.1 of the open-source MySQL database software, but the software's founder simultaneously warned of a number of bugs present in the new features that are still to be fixed.
The founder of MySQL, Michael 'Monty' Widenius, stated in a blog post on Saturday that most of the issues identified were serious or crashing bugs. There are also a number of older, known bugs that are still present in this release.
The new features introduced have been ranked as 'beta' quality. There are a number of issues associated with the partitioning feature.
Row-based replication has not been enabled by default, because of a number of problems. Users are advised to test the latest MySQL version before deploying it to production systems.
