Has anyone spent any time with the MySQL 5.0 alpha, set to go into beta shortly (http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/01/04/HNmysql5beta_1.html)?
Would be interesting to have a rudimentary comparison checklist - not so much benchmarks, as features, as they seem to have added a lot. And any info on how they've implemented these features (e.g. multiple table types in order to use different features, etc.) would be of interest.
Cheers,
Ned
