MySQL overview

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 in version 8.0.28

Updated on Jan 20 2022

Bugs fixed:

InnoDB: The minimum I/O buffer size calculated during an index creation operation did not align with the I/O block size, permitting a record to exceed the buffer boundary.
InnoDB: The sync_array_detect_deadlock algorithm used by the semaphore deadlock checker in debug builds was simplified in terms of code and time complexity, and an implementation of the algorithm was introduced for use in release builds.
InnoDB: The ut::make_unique library function in the InnoDB sources now permits specifying the type of field allocated.
InnoDB: A Performance Schema instrumentation was added for tracking redo log buffer memory allocations.
InnoDB: Warnings printed to the error log for long semaphore waits did not provide information about the latch owner.
InnoDB: A latch release and reacquisition mechanism was introduced to reduce the amount of time that threads spend in critical sections protected by a global lock system latch.
InnoDB: A hole punch operation on Windows caused a failure. The operation was performed as an overlapped (asynchronous) operation, which requires a OVERLAPPED structure containing a handle to an event object. The OVERLAPPED structure was not provided.
InnoDB: The ut_time() infrastructure in the InnoDB sources was replaced with a type-checked standard library implementation.
InnoDB: Numerous Trying to access missing tablespace errors were printed to the error log following a restore operation.
InnoDB: Performance Schema aware ut::make_unique and ut::make_shared memory management library functions were added to the InnoDB sources. Similar functions (ut::make_unique_aligned and ut::make_shared_aligned) were added for types with extended alignment.
InnoDB: The buf_validate() function in the InnoDB sources was optimized, improving performance on debug builds.
InnoDB: On a NUMA-enabled system, the page size of memory chunks allocated to the buffer pool did not align with the system page size in certain scenarios, causing in the following error: Failed to set NUMA memory policy of buffer pool page frames to MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
InnoDB: Two instances of std::unique_ptr with mem_heap in the InnoDB sources now use the Scoped_heap() wrapper, which uses a stateless function object instead of a pointer to a function.

8.0.12

2.0

Version: 8.0.12

New version 8.0.13. This version requires system 10.13 or 10.14. The intermediate versions of the version, required 10.12. The previous versions of 8 (8.0.0 dmr)accepted 10.11 but I think they withdrew the support before the initial final version. Browsing your website, I only see the final version (not beta or prior) compatible with 10.11 version 5.7.16. In MU, they offer 5.7.17 as compatible, but the MySQL site mentions only 10.12. Are versions of 10.12 compatible with 10.11? Can I then use version 5.7.20? Why do not they already offer support for 10.11 with security updates for some previous version? It was not my favorite, because it needs a lot of previous study to use. But the price of FileMaker, and its obsolescence made me consider this option. I see that there is no other solution to pay, and stay updated forever. With new computer as the Apple gurus send, every 9 months :-)

Version: 5.7.20

I have a small library card catalogue archive for which I'm going to build a database. Each card might have 3 separate entries on it...probably a total of around 14,000 cards. Will MySQL work for me?

5.6.15

Version: 5.6.15

Why o why does MacUpdate track Unix software in the main Mac software channel? Just a suggestion, but i would prefer it if you had a separate tab/category for server software, daemons, CLI utilities and the like. That way, the 90% who don't use it won't have to contend with the added entries on the tracker. (I do personally use a lot of server-oriented software and CLI tools, so i would personally check that category for updates. But my preference would be to separate them out to another category listing.)

5.1.60

Version: 5.1.60

The MU download only provides some 0.5kb (!) tar.gz file, and the developer link only leads to some fairly small-sized search engine code. However, the below link seems to provide the full-on file in several formats for OS 10.6: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

5.1.57

Version: 5.1.57

This is odd. The MySQL download page lists 5.5.12 as the lastest version, and 5.1.57 as an older version. Yet MacUpdate is linking to 5.1.57. What gives?

5.0.45

Version: 5.0.45

Version 5.0.51 has just been released, however, it doesn't work out of the box on my Mac with OS X 10.5.2. 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. http://bugs.mysql.com/34814

5.0.41

Version: 5.0.41

Unfortunately, many developers seem to believe that MySQL is a 'free' product, when it isn't. Its licensing scheme is quite restrictive for professional production. 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.

Anyone know why the "Mac OS X 10.4, (PowerPC, 64-bit)" downloads are still only 5.0.27?

Version: 5.0.20

What happened to the package installer? I installed the x86 version two weeks ago, and it had a packaged installer. I had to reinstall today (reinstalled the OS), and all of the installers on MySQL's site are command line only. I'm certain I got the Mac x86 packaged installer from MySQL's site. What happened to it?

The MySQL package for Mac OS X makes the basic installation procedure a snap (as opposed to the old process that required building and installing it from the command line). The System Preferences pane is handy, too - although it could do with providing access to a few more options, too. 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.

5.0

Version: 5.0.13

No problem with opening .dmg 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.

Works. Ignore these Oracle/Microsoft employees.

Version: 4.1.12

Does not work. I've tried installing this about 4 times, following the instructions PRECISELY, and this thing just refuses to run. A web search reveals this happens to MANY people. If you can't make a package that'll run and install correctly, don't bother putting out a product!

I cant open the DMG when it has been downloaded, anyone else with this problem?

4.1.7

Version: 4.1.7

For simple tasks like phpBB forums, php forms, and other lightweight uses, this is the ticket. It's efficient, clean, and quick. It's a great little SQL for small web tasks, and getting better. If you're looking for JDBC work, or for heavier tasks such as major commercial shopping carts, go to FrontBase. They have a free dev (tell they why you want to use it is all they ask) and a free liteweight deployment license, and it's good all the way up to serious WebObjects development. (I used to recommend OpenBase, but they've gotten greedy, especially with WO dev.)

Great intro to SQL databases. The feature set with MySQL is getting better and is free for personal use. For *ANY* business application they suggest you purchase a license @ $500 and are looking to enforce that policy in the future. I will use MySQL for little stuff like weblogs... but for large scale applications. PostgreSQL is the only way to go.. totally free!
