Re: Which version of MySQL should be installed with ZendServer CE?

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Buck,

I discovered that what you are saying, that MySQL is included with the
ZendSvr CE install, is true (very nice!).  I figure they probably had that
in the install process and I completely ignored/missed it - my fault.

> They are dropping support for older IBM i releases.  In any event, what I
have on my i 5.4 is MySQL 5.0.45.

Here's a thread on the formal Zend forum that I am following:
http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=8923&p=29931

I am hoping that they, Zend, are stepping in an not just hoping for the
best.
