For the time being, version 5.0 is only available in source code. See 項2.3.4. 「開発ソースツリーからのインストール」.
The following changelog shows what has already been done in the 5.0 tree:
Basic support for stored procedures (SQL-99 style).
Added SELECT INTO list_of_vars
, which can
be of mixed, that is, global and local type.
Deprecated the update log (no longer supported). It is fully replaced by the binary log.
User variable names are now case insensitive: if you do
SET @a=10;
then SELECT
@A;
will now return 10
. Of
course, the content of the variable is still case sensitive;
only the name of this variable is case insensitive.
