This encyclopedia article clearly does not have enough lists. I count at least three maybe four paragraphs of prose. Moreover, somebody has really dumbed it down. There are sections that almost sound as if it were written for an audience that included non-programs of MySQL. And definitely, let's nail down that pronunciation. I think we should have a Finnish speaker pronounce it and then include the audio recording. I will volunteer to learn Finnish in furtherance of this task.

Why does this article list 5.7 when 8.0 has been available for more than 6 months? [1] -- Mikeblas (talk) 03:17, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I believe this has long since been updated. 184.65.140.225 (talk) 22:41, 9 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I am trying to find a legitimate reference for listing 9.7 as a future version. I have not found any official documentation about this. I think it should be removed from the version table. 184.65.140.225 (talk) 22:41, 9 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Version 9.7 is just an example shown in how innovation and LTS versioning could possibly work. No such version 9.7 actually exists.

"Note that this is an example, there is no commitment that the version numbering will be exactly as presented."

This issue was resolved with the rollback of changes:

The Deployment section still uses the terms "master" and "slave". Starting in 8.0, these were mostly replaced by the terms "source" and "replica". Scott Noyes (talk) 19:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Completed in the "Deployment" Section with references to MySQL's official blog: https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/mysql-terminology-updates/.

The Features section has not been updated, since as of MySQL 5.6 the terminology was still master/slave. 142.232.152.8 (talk) 14:49, 4 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
