MySQL 5.6. supported by SkySQL
Oracle has announced general availability of MySQL 5.6, even as many MySQL users prepare to transition to alternatives such as MariaDB because of what they claim is Oracle's overweening handling of the open source database.
"The new features and enhancements that MySQL 5.6 delivers further demonstrate Oracle's investment in driving MySQL innovation, making MySQL a fantastic fit for today's most demanding Web, Cloud and embedded application requirements," Tomas Ulin, Oracle's VP of MySQL engineering, said in a statement on Tuesday.
SkySQL is actively testing MySQL 5.6 and together with our partner Monty Program, we will maintain an updated and publicly available version with security fixes, bug fixes and related test cases found by our teams, customers and the community. View the commitment.
