My SQL which version is stable

[Greyfort]

ok I'm making the leap ...

pc:
windows xp prof version 2002 service pak 2

amd athlon 64x2 dual
core porc 4600+
2.41Ghz,4GB ram

curently i use ms accsess and sql lite
what mysql is stable ?

from this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc
says Connector/ODBC 5.1.8

is there anything else I need to use with nwnx2, if anyone can help that would be great

[pardik]

with nwnx2 I will install linux, try ubuntu 32 bit, having a server running it's easier then in windows

I think hes talking about what version of mySQL is more stable.


Personally, I think your always best going with the most up to date version of mySQL.

At work, the company I am contracted out to, have to use mySQL 3.X because they have built dependencies on it.

However, if you are making the leap, then there is no reason you cant go to the highest version available.
Newer db software, can potentially give you more powerful mysql functions to use via nwnscript.

eg - Calling stored proceedures, using variables in the mysql queries etc (not nwnscript variables, but actual mysql vars etc)

eg -
var aTag;
Select tag into aTag // etc
