And MySQL 5 has enough "features" and current MySQL AB support for it is so "good", that there is no need to bash MySQL based on V3 problems. MySQL5 is still a joke, and one can quite safely predict the answers to tickets, with well over 50% guess rate. (Hint: I don't consider the answer: "Redo your schema" to be a satisfactory answer. And philosophically, the query optimizer in MySQL is near perfect. OTOH, considering the fact that many operations in MySQL still have just one way to execute, it's easy to choose the fastest plan, isn't it *g*) Andreas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGdsgCHJdudm4KnO0RAg2oAKCdabTyQCcK8eC0+ErVJLlX59nNjgCfQjaO hhfSxBoESyCU/mTQo3gbQRM= =RqB7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
