Hi all!

Is there a MySQL version known to work on Alpha? It must be stable,
because several people rely on that machine. Otherwise, can somebody
recommend another SQL database? No, Oracle/Tru64 is not an option :-)

The machine is still on 1.6.2 but will be upgraded to 2.0.2 soon.

I tried 4.1.11, since it is in pkgsrc and the Linux/x86 box is running
MySQL4 as well. It blows up with unaligned access before even starting.
Google revealed several problems with MySQL on Alpha, but no solution.

Thanks in advance!

Wolfgang
