MySQL 6.0 Community Edition - Alpha Development Release
NOTE: This alpha release, as any other pre-production release, should not be
installed on production level systems or systems with critical data. It is
good practice to back up your data before installing any new version of
software. Although MySQL has worked very hard to ensure a high level of
quality, protect your data by making a backup as you would for any other
software beta release. MySQL generally recommends that you dump and reload
your tables from any previous version to upgrade to 6.0.
Linux (non RPM, Intel C/C++ compiled, glibc-2.3) downloads
MySQL is pleased to make available offerings of the MySQL Community Server
compiled with the Intel CC compiler. Internal tests show that editions of
the MySQL Community Server compiled with the Intel CC compiler exhibit
faster performance on Intel hardware than those compiled with the standard
gcc compiler. Feedback is welcome.
For older MySQL packages compiled with Intel C/C++, you might need some
supplementary downloads.
