mysql 5 a
Just wondering guys. i am about to install the mysql5 alpha, wondering if there is any good reason why i shouldnt do that.. my guess is that the old features of mysql will still run as normal, and it gives me great oppertunity to try out the new ones

Nah this is just home use, to try out the new features. Ofourse i will use this db aswell for the developing of the pages which do need to go to the server.
Dont think that should give any problem

Just ask yourself; Will you be able to remember the difference between v4 and v5 (functions, joins etc etc)?
As a moderator, thinking about the forum in general:
As you do offer a great deal of good posts here, understanding the differences is a must. I've seen to many "use function X!"-like answers on other places, when indeed the mysql version being in use isn't currently allowed to use the X-function. Version 5 of the engine has a great set of newly added features and twirks that is good, so it might be to easy to remember those when trying to solve an issue for version 4.
I'm just trying to avoid the havoc on the board similiar to when "suddenly" register_globals got turned off as default...
Personally, I think it's worth looking into. There are alot of interesting stuff put into the release so go for it. =)
