mysql gotchas
I have a question I wanted to throw out. The term “GA” gets batted around all the time as meaning, the production-ready version of MySQL server. However, googling for quite a bit, I can’t find a definition for GA (other than what I stated above, i.e. production-ready). What does this mean in terms of bugs? Features? Anything else I might be missing?
The listing of Dynamic System Variables on the MySQL Reference Manual’s page is supposed to show those variables you can change on-the-fly. The link at the top of this post, links to the 4.1 version of the manual, just in case folks are thinking I’m using a newer manual version. Mind you, I have this problem with 5.0.45 as well as 4.1.20.
