'Most important ever' MySQL reaches beta - ZDNet UK News: "A beta of the next major version of open source database MySQL was released on Monday and includes supports for a number of features that could appeal to corporate users.

David Axmark, a co-founder of MySQL, told ZDNet UK that all the enterprise functionality that MySQL has lacked in the past have been added to MySQL 5.0.

'People have been criticising MySQL since we started [in 1995] for not having stored procedures, triggers and views,' said Axmark. 'We're fixing 10 years of criticism in one release.'

'It's the most important release we've ever done in the company,' Axmark added."
