"MySQL Enterprise Server software is the most reliable, secure and up-to-date version of MySQL for cost-effectively delivering E-commerce, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and multi-terabyte Data Warehousing applications. It is a fully integrated transaction-safe, ACID compliant database with full commit, rollback, crash recovery and row level locking capabilities. MySQL delivers the ease of use, scalability, and performance that has made it MySQL the world’s most popular open source database."

MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0 delivers new enterprise features, including:

• ACID Transactions to build reliable and secure business critical applications
• Stored Procedures to improve developer productivity
• Triggers to enforce complex business rules at the database level
• Views to ensure sensitive information is not compromised
• Information Schema to provide easy access to metadata
• Distributed Transactions (XA) to support complex transactions across multiple databases
• Pluggable Storage Engine Architecture for maximum flexibility
• Archive Storage Engine for historical and audit data
• Federated Storage Engine to create a single logical database from many physical servers
• Emergency Hot Fix Builds

"In contrast to the MySQL Enterprise Server, which receives both monthly rapid updates and quarterly service pack releases, there is no specific schedule for when a new version of the MySQL Community Server is released. While every bug fix that has been applied to the Enterprise Server will also be available in the subsequent Community Server release, there will be source-only releases in between full (source and binary) Community builds. So while the latest published community sources will always be available from the Source Downloads Section, the binaries listed on this page may be from a previous release. In any case, full binaries for all our supported operating systems are and will remain conveniently available from this page."

• The Standard binaries are recommended for most users
• The Debug binaries have been compiled with extra debug information, and are not intended for production use, because the included debugging code may reduce performance.
