The MySQL documentation also states > that some functions in MySQL 5 are *not* backwards-compatible. From what I've seen all these years, most of the time php and mysql bundled applications such as phpnuke, mambo, joomla, etc they all state: use mysql 'at least' version blabla. So the newer the mysql 'usually' the better. It's the whole different thing regarding backward compatibility. Of course it's a pointless bad habit installing a web program that clearly states 'require at least mysql 5.x.x' into mysql 4.x.x :) May I know the name of the library management program?
