MySQL AB
MySQL, the industry-leading open-source SQL database, is an accessible, easy-to-use relational database management system (RDBMS). As an alternative to Oracle and SQL server, MySQL offers features and capabilities that were once only available to users of expensive proprietary systems.
What's New
Version 5.1.60:
Functionality Added or Changed
- Upgrading from an Advanced GPL RPM package to an Advanced RPM package did not work. Now on Linux it is possible to use rpm -U to replace any installed MySQL product by any other of the same release family. It is not necessary to remove the old produce with rpm -e first. (Bug #11886309)
- MEMORY table creation time is now available in the CREATE_TIME column of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table and the Create_time column of SHOW TABLE STATUS output. (Bug #51655, Bug #11759349)
- InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix improves the performance of instrumentation code for InnoDB buffer pool operations. (Bug #12950803, Bug #62294)
- InnoDB Storage Engine: Data from BLOB columns could be lost if the server crashed at a precise moment when other columns were being updated in an InnoDB table. (Bug #12704861)
- InnoDB Storage Engine: Lookups using secondary indexes could give incorrect matches under a specific set of conditions. The conditions involve an index defined on a column prefix, for a BLOB or other long column stored outside the index page, with a table using the Barracuda file format. (Bug #12601439)
- InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix corrects cases where the MySQL server could hang or abort with a long semaphore wait message. (This is a different issue than when these symptoms occurred during a CHECK TABLE statement.) (Bug #11766591, Bug #59733)
- Replication: Issuing the following statements, in the order shown, could cause a deadlock between the user thread and I/O thread:
START SLAVE;
STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD;
START SLAVE;
(Bug #11878104) See also Bug #44312, Bug #11752963, Bug #38715, Bug #38716. - Internal conversion of zero to binary and back could yield a result with incorrect precision. (Bug #12911710)
- Valgrind warnings generated by filesort operations were fixed. (Bug #12856915)
- Several improvements were made to the libedit library bundled with MySQL distributions, and that is available for all platforms that MySQL supports except Windows.
- Navigation keys did not work for UTF-8 input.
- Word navigation and delete operations did not work for UTF-8 input with Cyrillic characters.
- Nonlatin characters were corrupted in overwrite mode for UTF-8 input.
- Long queries caused the statement history file to become corrupted.
- The Alt key caused history operations to fail.

Yet MacUpdate is linking to 5.1.57.
What gives?

So, with MySQL, 5.5.x is the latest feature updated branch, but 5.1.x is not "old", it's merely a separate branch, which, having been in use for a longer period of time, is probably slightly more stable.
In any event, MU should include links to the latest version of 5.1.x and 5.5.x. Both are valid and current branches of MySQL. With server software, it's not about either/or but both/and.

I've filed a bug report that contains a workaround that circumvents the permissions issues. However, this is okay for a development Mac like min, you MUST NOT do it on a production system.

For those of you who need more info... this pref. pane works for those who did the custom work-around in the previous posts on this topic. Worth trying at any rate... you can't harm your computer.

Note that MySQL PreferencePane is not working correctly.

Although newer versions are more stable, have more of the *basic, required* features that make a database engine a 'true' database system (such as foreign key support, and transaction rollback), the truth is that there are other systems out there - such as the excellent and much under-used PostreSQL - which, in my experience, have a less restrictive license, are more advanced, supporting more standard features, and still just as cross-platform.

You still have to do a bit of manual setup, but it's getting easier and easier.
Be sure to get the free MySQL Administrator application (also from MySQL AB) for a Mac OS X graphical front end to administration of MySQL.

Take care to download the right version for your OSX 10.x
Easy install.
I manage my databases with phpMyAdmin.
For Mathematica afficionados : don't forget that Mathematica can connect (but you need to update to mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar) to mysql databases, manages queries and handles datas. A delight.
