Recent couple of days our team was pointed to number of bugs in MySQL 5.0 which again seriously shakes the confidence in both MySQL Quality Control and bug fix promptness.

Let me just take couple of bugs as examples:

Triggers broken with auto-increment columns for Innodb tables (bug 26316). As you can see this bug is reported in February - over 6 months ago and it is still in verified state even though it has “serious” severity.

ORDER By DESC broken for Innodb tables (bug 31001) This is also very interesting - the VERY basic functionality gets broken and passes quality control. And why it is broken ? Because minor optimization was implemented in MySQL 5.0.
