JLCarneiro Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Hello, I've used TCH for a while now and I am very pleased with your service and support. Now I have another request. To complete an academic project I need a trigger-capable database. AFAIK, the only version of MySQL with this feature is MySQL 5.x. Considering the version you currently use (4.1.21-standard) and two last-year answers about MySQL upgrading plans (here and here), I assume you don't plan on upgrading it in near future. Is there another way of using it? I mean, kind of a private installation or something? Or even installing another DBMS (like PostgreSQL) privately. Thanks in advance, José Luís Edited April 9, 2007 by JLCarneiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 While you can't do it on a TCH server you can set up your computer to do some testing using XAMMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did installed MySQL 5 on my computer, and will test it locally. But I also have to present this assignment and I intended to demonstrate it "online" so each of the professors could try it online. Hence the TCH x MySQL 5 part... I assume it won't be available until june? What other suggestion do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevan Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Depending on the file size, you could load XAMMP on a USB drive, then use it to demonstrate it "online". I use this method to demonstrate website designs to prospective clients and it seems to work rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this method to demonstrate website designs to prospective clients and it seems to work rather well. Excuse my English. I meant I'll have to show it really online: multiuser environment... Not sure where you found that date but to my knowledge there are no plans at this time to go to MySQL 5 Sorry! I found NO date at all. I asked about June because my presentation should take place on July. So, if, by any chance, TCH decides to upgrade to MySQL 5 until June, I'll have time to install it on my domain, test it and use it during my presentation...
