MySQL 5.0 Ready To Download
Swedish-based MySQL AB said that 5.0 of its namesake database boasts new stored procedures, views that will protect sensitive information from unauthorized users, and an information schema to give companies access to database metadata.

Other new features include a migration manager that helps users move data from SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, and other databases; updated, high-performance editions of ODBC, Java, and .Net database drives; and a tool that lets administrators stop or start a MySQL server from a remote location.
