Downloads for the 4.0 version
This is the current alpha release of MySQL 4.0.
MySQL 4.0 is basicly a 'reconstruction release' that will enable us to
more easily add new features to MySQL in the future. The intention is to
quickly add features listed in the TODO section
(http://www.mysql.com/doc/T/O/TODO_MySQL_4.0.html) and then start to work on the 4.1 branch while 4.0 stabilizes.
You can find a description of the major new features in MySQL 4.0 here.
The complete changelog can be found here.
You can find how to upgrade from MySQL 3.23 here.
Linux downloads Linux Advisory: Several of our users have reported random table corruption with Linux kernel 2.2.14 under heavy load. The table corruptions went away after an upgrade to a newer kernel. It appears that version 2.2.14 of the Linux kernel has a bug in the I/O implementation. Under some rather rare circumstances, the kernel will write incorrect data to the disk. We recommend that all users currently running Linux kernel version 2.2.14 upgrade to the most recent version, which is of this writing, version 2.2.19. | Binary packages (tar.gz) | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Linux (Intel libc6 systems) (8.7M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Linux (Alpha) (10.1M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Linux (IA64) (7.6M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Linux (Sparc) (6.1M) | Download | | RedHat packages (rpm) | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Server (i386) (7M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Benchmark/test suites (i386) (1.4M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Client programs (i386) (1.7M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Libraries and Header files for development (i386) (2.3M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Client shared libraries (i386) (251K) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Embedded Server (i386) (1.4M) | Download |

Source downloads Compiler Advisory:
Several of our users have reported random crashes and table corruption with
MySQL binaries compiled with gcc 2.96 on the x86 Linux platform. Although we were
unable to duplicate the problems ourselves or understand their exact cause,
we suspect with a great degree of confidence that the problem was compiler related.
Replacing the faulty binary with our binary always eliminated the problem.
We recommend that MySQL be compiled with gcc 2.95 if
you have to compile your own binary at all. It is also acceptable to compile it
with gcc 2.91 - builds with these compilers have been tested extensively. We
would suggest, however, that you stay away from gcc 3.0 series until we have had
some time to do some more extensive testing.
The best solution in terms of stability and performance
for most users is to use our binary instead of compiling their own. Please visit
http://www.mysql.com/ to obtain an Official MySQL
binary.
To determine if you should be concerned about this compiler issue,
execute gcc -v from the command prompt on your system. If the compiler reports
version 2.96, then there is a problem (this is the case, for example on RH 7.x series or
Mandrake 8.x). In this case, you should not try to compile your own binary before
downgrading to one of the compilers mentioned above. You should also NOT use the MySQL server
provided with your distribution -- as this copy of MySQL was compiled with the same
ill-advised compiler version.
The recommended solution in this case is to uninstall
your distribution's MySQL and replace it with the one of the MySQL binaries from
http://www.mysql.com/. | Source packages | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Tarball (tar.gz) (11.3M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1 | Source RPM (rpm) (11.2M) | Download | | MySQL 4.0.1-alpha | Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP source (zip) (7.7M) | Download |
