Open-source vendor MySQL has issued a maintenance release fixing a slew of bugs revealed earlier in December by a study of its database code.
MySQL version 4.0.17, which can be downloaded from the MySQL Web site, crushes all the valid defects discovered in an independent poll of the development community.
The October poll was done by Reasoning, a US-based provider of automated software inspection services.
In that survey, released earlier in December, Reasoning found 21 bugs in 236,000 lines of the MySQL 4.0.16 version code.
However, Reasoning's study concluded that the quality of the MySQL open-source database code was still six times better than that of comparable proprietary databases.
MySQL is available in versions for the Linux, Unix, Windows, Solaris, Mac OS X, HP-UX, and FreeBSD operating systems.
