5.0.87-build20 Percona binaries

Dear Community,

We are pleased to present the 20th build of MySQL server with Percona patches.

Comparing to the previous release it has following new features:

• The build is based on MySQL-5.0.87
• innodb_rw_lock.patch is ported from InnoDB Plugin 1.0.3
• To be compatible with RedHat RPM repository, the naming scheme has changed to
  
  <rpm name>-<mysql version>-<percona build version>.<buildnumber>.<redhat version>.<architecture>.rpm

  1	<rpm name>-<mysql version>-<percona build version>.<buildnumber>.<redhat version>.<architecture>.rpm

  
  Example:
  
  MySQL-server-percona-5.0.87-b20.29.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

  1	MySQL-server-percona-5.0.87-b20.29.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

See release notes for earlier changes.

Since the build 20 MySQL server with Percona patches is available in Percona RPM repository via YUM. To make it working add a file Percona.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with following content

Is it worth/recommended to downgrade from a non RedHat RPM 5.1.40 MySQL installation to this Percona build? Which would have better performance? MySQL for dedicated CentOS 5.4 DB server focused on performance.

Thanks

I’m quite confused. Stable/production builds from Percona are based on MySQL 5.0.x or 5.1.x?

What build should I use on production servers?

Regards,
Raine

Geoff, Raine: We build binaries for both 5.1 and 5.0.

If you’re already using 5.1 – stick to it. The most recent 5.1 binary announce was here:
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/10/12/xtradb-storage-engine-release-1-0-4-8/

If you’re using 5.0, it’s probably time to start planning your upgrade. Officially ‘Active Support’ ends at the end of December, so you can expect less and less development focus on it:
