MySQL 5.5 GA

[ct2k7]

Why is everyone +1ing, given that it's already filed with the developers?

I think this will take few more months + mysql 5.5.x released until cpanel might also support it. It says that it's been filed with development , but no test has been carried on so far (my bad if i mistake but no 5.5.x source is visible on cPanel) -> Index of /mysqlinstall/

Actually, the testing builds aren't available online such as NIGHTLY now, since we do not want any testing component to be used accidentally in production. This means that not seeing MySQL 5.5 in httpupdate.cpanel.net location as a folder would not necessarily indicate that it is not being actively tested. Right now, we have an entire internal case project (W287) set up around MySQL 5.5 implementation.

In my case i run mysql 5.1.x at the moment with the innodb plugin (ignoring the built-in):

ignore-builtin-innodb
plugin-load=innodb=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_trx=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_locks=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_lock_waits=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_cmp=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_cmp_reset=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_cmpmem=ha_innodb_plugin.so;innodb_cmpmem_reset=ha_innodb_plugin.so
innodb_file_per_table=1

If cPanel will provide an upgrade to 5.5.x series i wonder what is the best way to do the upgrade because 5.5.x doesn't have the innodb plugin anymore.

Raising interest = higher priority.

This is one of the particulars we are investigating to effect the upgrade. Those innodb plugin lines need removed from the my.cnf file before attempting to start the mysqld service. mysqld will refuse to start if the innodb plugin entries exist.

Hi. Sorry if I missed some part of this. MySQL 5.5 doesn't include the innodb plugin anymore, although it still supports databases based on innodb engine?

Of course it's still supported but not as an plugin , it will be built-in as default storage type.

[cPanelKenneth]

Further on InnoDB, in MySQL 5.5 InnoDB is the default table type.

Can we expect 5.5 in the Q1 of 2011?

Apparently I was right when i said it might take cPanel quite some months until they will support it as they marked it as "Planned for 11.32"
