Description

Configuration option to use MySQL 5 specific features.

If MySQL 5 is being used, then views, full-text InnoDB search (and other MySQL 5 only features?) can be used.

Have you considered simply developing targeting MySQL 5 only?

At this point, it's not bleeding-edge by any means, available in backports for Debian Sarge and surely in RPMs and whatever form people like.

There comes a point where targeting an old technology that is of lower quality isn't worth the effort. If you have to choose one, choose the less-sucky one. (-:

we may take that path eventually. at this point, rhel 3 does not even support mysql 4.1. i don't know what debian stable or rhel 4 have. those are pretty much my benchmark for what is reasonable to require.

http://packages.debian.org/stable/misc/mysql-server says that Debian Stable uses MySQL 5.0.32 with Debian's always-exciting, never-depressing patches.

I don't believe that fulltext indexing is supported under InnoDB for any version of MySQL. That might make this less compelling.
