Generally:
mysql-server-4.1.18_2 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
[ using native pthreads ]

For the most part, I just use mysql for testing or for a backend to something
like Wordpress; I've still got a production Oracle 8.1.7 database on a 6-disk
Sun E250 for a mission-critical in-house system, and I'd generally go with that
or with FrontBase or OpenBase on an Xserve for clients.
I don't need anything from MySQL 5 that 4 doesn't provide.

Ports.

Native pthreads. It's the default choice and works fine for what I do.

Nope.

No. I doubt I'm running more than a query a second on average for what I'm
using mysql for now.
