Topic: MySQL 5.6

Installing the original MySQL RPM's or SRPMS on Fedora (17) is really a big pain because they just don't compile without a lot of fixes. Any plans of supporting MySQL 5.6?

Re: MySQL 5.6

Not yet.

And I don't know yet if I will ever continue to provide MySQL or switch to MariaDB.

Re: MySQL 5.6

It is good practice to back up your data before installing any new version of software. Although MySQL works very hard to ensure a high level of quality, protect your data by making a backup.

To upgrade to 5.6 from any previous version, MySQL recommends that you dump your tables with mysqldump before upgrading and reload the dump file after upgrading. Use the --all-databases option to include all databases in the dump. If your databases include stored programs, use the --routines and --events options as well.

Re: MySQL 5.6

With MySQL 5.5 generally available and being deployed all over the planet, the architects and strategists can start looking ahead to the exciting new thing with "SQL" in its name: MySQL 5.6.

MySQL 5.6 builds on the momentum of 5.5, and Oracle's investment and commitment to MySQL, by delivering better performance and scalability.
