mySQL 3.23 is making me sick!

29.05.03

English (EU) mySQL 3.23 is making me sick!

Permalink 21:49:04, by Francois Planque Email , Categories: b2evolution, mySQL
  • No referential integrity
  • No transactions (at least not enabled by default so hosting providers would have them)
  • No subqueries in DELETE statements
  • No UNION statement (can you believe it?)
  • and of course no triggers of any kind...

Not that I think mySQL is a bad thing... just that I don't understand how this can be called 3.23! Actually, 0.3.23 would be more appropriate! :>>

I'm so close to making 0.4 (some call it 4.0 :>>) a requirement for b2evolution!

Don't worry, I would myslef have to switch to another hosting provider if I wanted to use 4.0... :(

consider having a 'conditional' -- if mysql version = 4.x then do...or simply stick with 3.23 and write a how-to/FAQ on where/how to modify b2/evo for using mysql 4.x...after all 4.x is where it's all going... :) tom
