How to install MySQL 4.1.1 Alphas on OS X UNIX
If you'd like to install MySQL 4.1.1 Alpha Max or 4.1.1. Alpha Standard, I've posted some instructions on the forum site explaining how I did it. Your mileage may vary, but this technique worked for me.

[robg adds: Given that I use my machine to prep each day's hints, I'm not really willing to try this one -- my 4.0.16 installation is running quite nicely!]

Please remember that MySQL is a good database only when you have legacy concerns (existing software or brainspace). If you're looking for a much better database for new installations, use PostgreSQL instead. PostgreSQL is truly free (no special license if you want to use it commercially), truly ACID compliant, comparable in speed for similar applications, and is more or less "Oracle without the price".

There's even a Fink package to install it directly.

Unfortunately CocoaMySQL doesn't seem work with this version of MySQL unless you use it without a password.

That's because the authentication method changed between 4.1 and 4.1.1. CocoaMySQL will need to be updated to work with the new scheme.

There is a package for MySQL, too - from MySQL. Just download the disk image from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html
