Casually browsing around the site, I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to download MySQL for free...
edit: http://mysql.org http://mysql.org redirects to http://dev.mysql.com http://dev.mysql.com.
They've completely segmented the navigation between the commercial and developer sections of the site.
- flatline 17y agoThere's a "Downloads" tab right there at the top, I'm assuming that the "Community Server" is the free version, no? I haven't set up MySQL in years so I don't know what the site looked like before this but I wouldn't exactly classify it as hard to find...
- jonknee 17y agoThere's only a downloads tab if you know to go to .org and .com. The .com site has no mention of the free version (or link over to the .org site) like it did until today.
- tewks 17y agoThere is no Downloads tab on http://www.mysql.com http://www.mysql.com, what the parent submitted.
- flatline 17y agoI see - posted link, no download tab; parent link, download tab...so, dev.mysql.com has a link, and www.mysql.com does not. I can see a case for them pushing the commercial product, but they haven't buried the free version just yet.
