The 3.x series is very Very Old. The 4.x series is what MySQL teach, support and document. (In fact, the doco covers all versions and is marked up to show when various features appeared.) Don't go near the 3.x series if you can help it. It's stable but obsolete. Use the MySQL.com supplied 4.x RPMs. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ I've always liked the one where Foghorn Leghorn paints a face on a string mop and shoves it into the doghouse while going "Boogaboogabooga!" The dog comes out yapping and snarling, and Foghorn smacks him across the head with an iron skillet. - Geoff Miller <geoffm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
