1.7.1 MySQL Mailing Lists
-------------------------
Menu
* mailing-list-use Guidelines for Using the Mailing Lists
This section introduces the MySQL mailing lists and provides guidelines
as to how the lists should be used. When you subscribe to a mailing
list, you receive all postings to the list as email messages. You can
also send your own questions and answers to the list.
To subscribe to or unsubscribe from any of the mailing lists described
in this section, visit `http://lists.mysql.com/'. For most of them, you
can select the regular version of the list where you get individual
messages, or a digest version where you get one large message per day.
Please _do not_ send messages about subscribing or unsubscribing to any
of the mailing lists, because such messages are distributed
automatically to thousands of other users.
Your local site may have many subscribers to a MySQL mailing list. If
so, the site may have a local mailing list, so that messages sent from
`lists.mysql.com' to your site are propagated to the local list. In
such cases, please contact your system administrator to be added to or
dropped from the local MySQL list.
If you wish to have traffic for a mailing list go to a separate mailbox
in your mail program, set up a filter based on the message headers. You
can use either the `List-ID:' or `Delivered-To:' headers to identify
list messages.
The MySQL mailing lists are as follows:
* `announce'
This list is for announcements of new versions of MySQL and
related programs. This is a low-volume list to which all MySQL
users should subscribe.
* `mysql'
This is the main list for general MySQL discussion. Please note
that some topics are better discussed on the more-specialized
lists. If you post to the wrong list, you may not get an answer.
* `bugs'
This list is for people who want to stay informed about issues
reported since the last release of MySQL or who want to be
actively involved in the process of bug hunting and fixing. See
bug-reports.
* `internals'
This list is for people who work on the MySQL code. This is also
the forum for discussions on MySQL development and for posting
patches.
* `mysqldoc'
This list is for people who work on the MySQL documentation:
people from MySQL AB, translators, and other community members.
* `benchmarks'
This list is for anyone interested in performance issues.
Discussions concentrate on database performance (not limited to
MySQL), but also include broader categories such as performance of
the kernel, filesystem, disk system, and so on.
* `packagers'
This list is for discussions on packaging and distributing MySQL.
This is the forum used by distribution maintainers to exchange
ideas on packaging MySQL and on ensuring that MySQL looks and
feels as similar as possible on all supported platforms and
operating systems.
* `java'
This list is for discussions about the MySQL server and Java. It
is mostly used to discuss JDBC drivers such as MySQL Connector/J.
* `win32'
This list is for all topics concerning the MySQL software on
Microsoft operating systems, such as Windows 9x, Me, NT, 2000, XP,
and 2003.
* `myodbc'
This list is for all topics concerning connecting to the MySQL
server with ODBC.
* `gui-tools'
This list is for all topics concerning MySQL graphical user
interface tools such as `MySQL Administrator' and `MySQL Query
Browser'.
* `cluster'
This list is for discussion of MySQL Cluster.
* `dotnet'
This list is for discussion of the MySQL server and the .NET
platform. It is mostly related to MySQL Connector/Net.
* `plusplus'
This list is for all topics concerning programming with the C++
API for MySQL.
* `perl'
This list is for all topics concerning Perl support for MySQL with
`DBD::mysql'.
If you're unable to get an answer to your questions from a MySQL
mailing list or forum, one option is to purchase support from MySQL AB.
This puts you in direct contact with MySQL developers.
