What version to use

By =?iso-8859-1?Q?... at 12/17/2010 - 08:01

Hi,

I am a little uncertain on what version to use. I'm currently using 7.09 but when I google around it seems
that the versions after 7.1 and forward require a commercial license. Is that the case?
Or can I stick with the open source version.

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

MySQL Cluster is released under the GPL, you can use it, respecting the license of course :)
v7.1 is the way to go yes. Don't wait on Linux distributions to catch up.

Cheers,

Geert

Thanks Geert,

What you suggest is to use the generic linux version currently 7.1.9a
I have setup my cluster on ubuntu 10.04 using the package supplied
By them, which is based on 7.09

Should I do a complete reinstall with this or would it be possible to upgrade
My existing 7.09 using this generic ?

Best regard

Peter

Hi Peter
you can learn whats new in 7.1 via the New Features whitepaper:
