MySQL 5.0 pre-alpha news
At the first MySQL user conference, the MySQL company announced that the new version (v 5.0) is available for download (in a pre-alpha build) and will support foreign keys, stored procedures and database alerts.
This is certainly good news for those who need speedy pre-compiled stored procedures etc over interpreted on-the-fly queries in an enterprise environment - and could ultimately prove a serious contender for Microsoft's SQL Server
The list of changes and pre-alpha source code (buyer beware!) is here http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/TODO_MySQL_5.0.html
