MySQL overview
MySQL, the industry-leading open-source SQL database, is an accessible, easy-to-use relational database management system (RDBMS). As an alternative to Oracle and SQL server, MySQL offers features and capabilities that were once only available to users of expensive proprietary systems.
What’s new in version 9.6.0
Bugs Fixed
- InnoDB: Under certain circumstances, when using the que_eval_sql interface, a race condition could occur. (Bug #118705, Bug #38310595)
- Mysqltest did not print the symbolic error code (error name) for failed SQL statements. (Bug #38743161)
- Running SET PERSIST on a system variable after an upgrade can result in duplicate variable entries across different sections in mysqld-auto.cnf. (Bug #38680162)
- Binary log purged before persisted binlog_expire_* options were loaded. (Bug #38554467)
- Fixed an issue relating to changing users and roles. (Bug #38492547)
- Linux debug builds started with the --basedir option set to an existing absolute path will no longer assert that local_mysql_home ends with a specific character. (Bug #38483568)
- Releasing MDLs before the Auto_releaser has run could cause asserts in debug builds due to locks not being released. (Bug #38430539)
- When 2 of 6 instances in a geographically dispersed InnoDB Cluster lost connectivity, the primary server became unresponsive, causing the COMMIT and INSERT operations to become unresponsive as well. (Bug #38380392)
- Fixed an issue related to user name handling. (Bug #38355483)
- Mysqldump's --order-by-primary option sorted data by every index on the table, instead of just sorting by the primary key. (Bug #38284832)

- It was possible to specify a password expiry policy for externally authenticated users. (Bug #32724080)
- GTID gaps were generated because of the replica- skip-errors option. (Bug #28590993)
- Database names containing a backslash were not correctly quoted when using the --routines option with mysqldump. (Bug #22240504)
- If server was started on Windows platforms with --skip-grant-tables, privileges were not checked and remote connections were not permitted. As a result, the server might not start. (Bug #118805, Bug #38328780)
- (Bug #97091, Bug #30381098)
- Wait_timeout and the sql_mode MODE_IGNORE_SPACE were set at connect time, only. They should also have been set at reset_connection time.

Version: 8.0.12
New version 8.0.13. This version requires system 10.13 or 10.14. The intermediate versions of the version, required 10.12. The previous versions of 8 (8.0.0 dmr)accepted 10.11 but I think they withdrew the support before the initial final version.
Browsing your website, I only see the final version (not beta or prior) compatible with 10.11 version 5.7.16. In MU, they offer 5.7.17 as compatible, but the MySQL site mentions only 10.12. Are versions of 10.12 compatible with 10.11? Can I then use version 5.7.20?
Why do not they already offer support for 10.11 with security updates for some previous version? It was not my favorite, because it needs a lot of previous study to use. But the price of FileMaker, and its obsolescence made me consider this option. I see that there is no other solution to pay, and stay updated forever. With new computer as the Apple gurus send, every 9 months :-)

Version: 5.7.20
I have a small library card catalogue archive for which I'm going to build a database. Each card might have 3 separate entries on it...probably a total of around 14,000 cards. Will MySQL work for me?

Version: 5.6.17
Version 5.6.20 is available:

Version: 5.6.15
Why o why does MacUpdate track Unix software in the main Mac software channel? Just a suggestion, but i would prefer it if you had a separate tab/category for server software, daemons, CLI utilities and the like. That way, the 90% who don't use it won't have to contend with the added entries on the tracker. (I do personally use a lot of server-oriented software and CLI tools, so i would personally check that category for updates. But my preference would be to separate them out to another category listing.)

Version: 5.1.60
The MU download only provides some 0.5kb (!) tar.gz file, and the developer link only leads to some fairly small-sized search engine code. However, the below link seems to provide the full-on file in several formats for OS 10.6:
