Sun has released
MySQL Server 5.1.30 GA, "the
first 5.1 production version of the popular open source database.
MySQL 5.1.30 is recommended for use on production systems."
Notable new features in this release include
table and index partitioning,
row-based and mixed replication
a built-in job scheduler, new SQL diagnostic aids and performance utilities,
and improved XML handling with XPath support.
"ExtractValue() returns the
content of a fragment of XML matching a given XPath
expression. UpdateXML()
replaces the element selected from a fragment of XML by an
XPath expression supplied by the user with a second XML
fragment (also user-supplied), and returns the modified
XML. See Section 11.10, “XML Functions”."
