OurDelta - Builds for MySQL

OurDelta (sponsored by Open Query and others) produces enhanced builds for MySQL, with third-party patches, for common production platforms. All the builds are freely available for download.

We started with a baseline (for MySQL 5.0) of the patches already assembled/created by Percona, plus the Sphinx engine. Various fixes have been added since. Other additions are the additional target platforms and architectures, delivered through apt-get and yum repositories. We’ve created builds for MySQL 5.0; we’re also working on 5.1, of course with the PBXT engine and other popular plugins and patches (such as new interesting developments from Mark Callaghan and the team at Google). We’ll deal with 6.0 after that.

About MySQL & MariaDB

MySQL® Server as such is not a product we sell, it is "free" under the GPL v2 license. Open Query develops auxiliary products and services.

Shown above is a picture of Monty, the original author of MySQL and co-founder of the company MySQL (which was acquired for $1bln by Sun Microsystems in 2008). Monty left Sun in 2009 to start Monty Program Ab and develop the MariaDB branch of MySQL, and has already hired a significant number of experienced MySQL core developers.
