A new MySQL Virtual Appliance is now
available for download.
This new virtual appliance runs MySQL Version 5.0.1 which
provides some great new features, including new datatypes,
support for schemas, increased performance and triggers.
As well, this is the first virtual appliance featuring fully
automated use of extra Virtual Hard Disks, which opens the door
to practically unlimited storage potential using a small
appliance, in spite of a small disk image size.
Any VMware or Virtual PC VHDs working, including physical volumes
and VI3’s ESX hosted
iSCSI or Fiber Channel SAN volumes.
We will post a pictorial on how to use VHDs shortly.
As usual, our download images are nice and tiny. Just 27MB
for all this MySQL goodness.
