Which version of MYSQL to install

Cul33

Hello

I have today downloaded the trial of aware im but am not clear on which version of mysql to install.

The installation guide does not stipulate whether to install essential or the full version or whether to install the zip or msi installer.

Is it assumed to be obvious?! Maybe to most but not me I'm afraid.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

It doesn't really matter - msi or zip. We recommend msi because it's easier. Full version is probably safer.

We also recommend evaluating Aware IM with the default database (Derby) that comes with Aware IM. It will work in exactly the same way with other databases.

Thanks very much - and also for the astonishingly quick reply!

It does make one important difference, using MySQL or SQL vs. the built-in Derby database. The derby database is by default case sensitive. So if you were running a query for a particular object (say LastName = 'Johnson'), and typed it as "johnson", it will not return a result in Derby. In MySQL or SQL, you could type johnson any-which way, and it will return the result.
