A note of caution: This guide is currently useless. This is from 2006 - this means:
- All of the doc links are broken.
- Much of the behavior is not the default for any number of years now.
- Most of the gripes are about 4.x behavior.
This was written at a time when MySQL 5.1 was just going GA. I'm a fan of MySQL, having written for it and used it to do some really incredible things at scale, but even I'll admit that almost everything 5.1 and prior was pure and utter shite.

> This page deals with issues related to MySQL 4.1 and earlier, not 5.0
Between that and what seems to be the age of this thing, I don't see that this does anybody much good. MySQL 5.1 is the oldest version anyone sane should be running in production right now. And so much changed from 4.1 to 5.0 that I doubt most of this list is relevant.
(Also, why is the link to mustapha.org? It seems to redirect straight to the actual URL of the content.)
