I need to complete some unfinished work for a company which doesn't
have a regular dba and it appears their developers are working with
different versions of MySQL from 5.0.33 to 5.1.28.
I've been working with PostgreSQL for a long time but haven't done much with MySQL before and know relatively
little about the overall stability of different MySQL releases.
Counting the open bugs for each version at http://bugs.mysql.com
leads me to believe 5.0.33 is the most stable but I'm curious about
what people with a more solid background in MySQL think is
the most stable?
