Bonjour,

My-Ess-Kyew-Ell, aka MySQL, version 5.0 will be preinstalled in the next Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE) available very soon now...
All in the integration work is now done on the Open via the OpenSolaris community:

For example, the community Architecture Review document is located at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/608/onepager/

Active discussion is happening on the webstack-discuss public mailing list: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/webstack-discuss/2007-October/thread.html

The Web Stack community is located under http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack/

And a Desktop integration of the entire stack (Apache 2, MySql, PHP, NetBeans, NetBeans PHP support, NetBeans MySQL JDBC Driver, samples, documentation, GlassFish Java EE 5, JDK 6,...) is available for the developers who would like to get started as quickly as possible without becoming a Solaris sys-admin geek:


Nothing to install other than the OS DVD: it's all there with the next Solaris Express Developer Edition... Just wait a few more days.

And now that My-Ess-Kyew-Ell will become part of Sun MicroSystems, it will just be even more exciting times for the OpenSolaris community.

Welcome aboard,
Ludo
