Broadest Single-Month Release of New Technology in Vendor’s 12-Year History - Japanese MySQL Users Conference

TOKYO-- MySQL AB today announced that it plans to release alpha and beta versions of several new Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) products this month, including a ‘release candidate’ of MySQL 5.1 -- a major new upgrade of the world’s most popular open source database server.

The announcement was made this morning at the inaugural Japanese MySQL Users Conference, being held here this week (http://www.mysql-ucj2007.jp/english/).

“This wave of new technology represents the widest range of new products in any month in our company’s history -- innovative, new ways for users to extend their database applications,” said Marten Mickos, MySQL AB’s CEO. “We’re proud to work in tandem with our open source community to continuously release, evaluate and improve new MySQL features -- so that we can all benefit from the highest-quality software possible.”

All of the following GPL-licensed products are scheduled to be available for download by the end of September at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/:

MySQL 5.1 Community Server -- The upcoming version of MySQL includes database partitioning capabilities to improve performance and simplify management of very large applications.

Falcon Database Engine -- MySQL’s newest transactional database engine, being designed for large-memory, multi-threaded and multi-core CPU applications such as high-volume Web sites. Falcon is available in a special preview version of MySQL 6.0.

MySQL Proxy -- A software program that sits between a client and MySQL server(s) that can monitor, analyze, or transform their communication. MySQL Proxy’s flexibility can address many common uses -- such as query analysis, filtering and modification, and much, much more.

MySQL Connector /ODBC 5.1 -- A new high-performance MySQL ODBC driver that provides client access to a MySQL database using the industry-standard Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API.

MySQL is Hiring!

MySQL AB employs more open source database developers than any company in the world -- and is looking to add more. For those interested in developing, supporting or selling innovative FOSS database solutions, please visit http://www.mysql.com/company/jobs/.
