Support Mysql 5?

MySQL 5 changes a lot - and how LEFT JOINS are formatted. We'd need to re-code a fair bit of IPB to make it work with MySQL 5.

Wouldn't you just be able to recode the DB drivers?

Yes, I believe Matt was referring to recoding in his previous post. Of course IPB will be updated to use MySQL 5 in due course :)

IPB does not yet support MySQL 5 so there will be issues... we will probably not work on adding official support until MySQL 5 is stable and proven.

Really?? Matt where did you find that ? Is it on MySQL's site ? I couldn't find that listed in the list of changes?

Wow MySQL 5 was certified for production use today :) ... it's been a long time coming.. ( Nice timing on the post lol )

Backdream .. what kind of errors are you getting? If its just a few field types that are set incorrectly in the IPB db schema it should be easy to fix.

I've already updated the db class to work with the php5 MySQLi interface .. MySQL 5 with MySQLi would be nice :)

Incase anyone cares, IPB 2.1.3 works flawlessly with MySQL 5.0.15



So far as you have seen. We can't guarantee it's working flawlessly, however I do urge you to submit any bugs you find running with MySQL 5 to our bug tracker so that we *can* guarantee support for MySQL 5 in a future version. :)

4.x has the query cache, and 5.x has Stored Procedures.
the Query cache works independant of the coding, but Stored Procedures as far as I can tell need to be specifically coded for.

without a specific IPB SQL driver is there any advantage to running it on a v5.x install?

As said, support for mySQL5 is not currently available, and will be once the time comes.

It's just being stated by other customers that it works fine on PHP5, they can say whatever they want - but it's unsupported as of right now.

At the time, I posted that comment, I just knew it worked. Didn't know that only what didn't work was fixed.

Trust me, I will submit any bugs I find to the bug tracker.
