First Look: MySQL 5.1 Open Source Database
MySQL 5.1 was released by Sun Microsystems in April, but I decided to test it out this month. I downloaded the Windows version of this open source database management app and gave it a spin.
The setup script added the MySQL server component with minimal interaction on my part. A wizard helped me perform the initial configuration and define a root password. After that, MySQL was fully functional and I was able to get to work right away.
I tested MySQL with a GUI frontend. Database operations were very fast during my test run, even with my larger databases. I did not encounter any bugs or problems during the tests.
I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to deploy MySQL 5.1 on a Windows system.
