MySQL version 5.0 or 5.1, what is really required now, for which versions?
March 15, 2011, 10:32:28 am
I noticed the technical requirements for CiviCRM list it now as 5.1 for MySQL.  In the same bullet list it also mentions 5.0 for SUPER privs.  This seems inconsistent.   MySQL requirements used to be 5.0, when exactly did that change to 5.1?  Was it with the logging features in 3.3.x?

I do have one upgraded 3.3.3 site that is running 5.0.84 and it seems to be running ok, although I am not using logging.   Will 5.0 be OK in some circumstances for upgraded 3.3.x sites?

Will 3.3.x or 3.4.x no longer install unless MySQL is is 5.1?

hey stoob:

the main reason we upped is because, 5.0 is no longer supported by MySQL (EOL).

I dont think we are using 5.1 only features, but i suspect that might happen in future 4.x releases. The installer for 3.4/4.0 is fine with mysql 5.0
