MySQL 5.1 Goes GA, Finally…

I was happy to see that MySQL 5.1 went GA on November 27th, it has taken a very long time to get there.

I use it for my current project, in fact I selected it over 5.0 in the expectation that it would go GA while my work was in progress.

We tried it out while I was at Feedster, in the fall of 2006 and rejected it pretty quickly because it was way too unstable and opted for 5.0 instead.
