[ENet power News in Silicon Valley] to attract commercial users, MySQL, an open-source database vendor, plans to launch a new version of MySQL 5.0 within seven to ten days. The new database version will make users feel more and more like SQL Server and other enterprise database products.

According to Robin Schumacher, product director of MySQL, Version 5.0 is in the final troubleshooting and improvement process, the company will provide a free community edition online based on the open-source GPL protocol ". He also said that enterprise customers who have purchased a commercial license will be able to upgrade MySQL 5.0 to their servers two months after the new version is released.

It is reported that MySQL5.0 has been developed for two and a half years. Media analysis said that this is an important step for MySQL to sell open-source software to commercial users. In the past, as a representative of low-end databases, MySQL was quite popular in website development. In MySQL 5.0, MySQL added functionality that is only available to enterprise database giants-Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and Sybase.

MySQl 5.0 allows developers to write stored procedures and distributed business processing. It supports triggers, views, and other functions. Other features included in the new version include data migration tools, which can help users easily import data from Oracle, SQL Server, and other databases. This upgrade also provides a tool named "archive engine" for accessing historical data.

It is reported that MySQL is not the only open-source database to expand to commercial users, but it is obviously the most popular. According to a recent survey by Evans data company, 44% of developers use MySQL, 28% use Firebird, and 12% use PostgreSQL in the market share of open-source databases.

The development trend of open-source databases headed by MySQL has aroused the attention and concerns of database giants. For example, IBM and Oracle have successively lowered their prices for low-end database products. In addition, Oracle recently acquired Innobase, an open-source database developer with only five members in Finland, which provides a storage engine for MySQL. This shows that Oracle has begun to focus on open source database developers.
