Is Oracle killing MySQL?
-
Oracle seems to be having be on a killing spree after acquiring Sun (and hence MySQL which was acquired by Sun). The latest two versions of MySQL for Windows have serious issues in Setup Configuration Wizard. 1) It can not seamlessly cleanup the older uninstallation files and/or overwrite it gracefully. (At least can't it display a graceful message?) 2) It throws an error like 'authentication_string' can not have a default value. And this seems to be a newer bug introduced by Oracle-MySQL team (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=59038[^])

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep!Oracle Support: Please use Oracle XE instead, it's also free and better than MySQL. :)
