New enterprise level features, high performance and low costs seemed to have caused big expectations for the new release of MySQL.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- November 14, 2005 -- MySQL AB today reported record interest in the newest version of its popular open source database. MySQL 5.0 has already been downloaded over one million times since its introduction on October 24.

"We have been overwhelmed by the excitement generated around MySQL 5.0 -- including a record-breaking 100,000 downloads in a single day," said Zack Urlocker, vice president of marketing for MySQL AB. "It is a testament to our large community of users, developers and partners that 5.0 has taken off so swiftly. It's fantastic that we are also getting lots of new interest from users of other databases, trying out open source and MySQL for the first time."

The new MySQL 5.0 combines enterprise-grade reliability and performance with advanced SQL 2003 standard-compliant features, making it the most cost-effective database solution for business-critical applications. The product's new functionality is especially familiar to database developers and DBAs of proprietary relational database systems -- allowing IT departments to ease the integration and transition of their data, applications and skill sets.

"MySQL 5.0 adds major new capabilities to the MySQL database, which we were able to use immediately," said Nick Arnett, director of Business Intelligence Services at Liveworld Inc. "After years of experience with dozens of large MySQL databases for our communities, we chose MySQL 5.0 as the platform for a 500GB data warehouse system and we're seeing reliable high performance. We particularly appreciate two of the new features, views and stored procedures, because they greatly reduce development and maintenance for flexible, secure, high-performance reporting, which is critical for a data warehouse."
