Re: Installation 4.1.1

Hi,

Ok, I stole the file in the tar distribution and succeeded in the 
installation of mysql 4.1.1 .

I then checked some new features i was interested in: 
- you wrote in the changelog that mysql 4.1.1 count now characters and 
no more bytes.
I checked the length of "abé" and got 4 ... it doesn't work.
- I had mentionned a bug two months ago : crash of mysql with the execution of
create table t1 (col1 varchar(20) PRIMARY KEY, col2 varchar(30) not null, unique index(col2));
insert into t1 set col1="abc", col2="Ikéa";
update t1 set col2="Ikea" where col2="Ikéa";
This still crashes mysql...  :-(

I then supposed that i could use mysql 4.1.1 and have to wait some more time for the 
fixes of the bugs mentionned above but :
- I'm now unable to connect from Java. I got exactly the same error messages as if
mysql was down : 
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Server connection failure during transaction.
Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.
        at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.createNewIO(Connection.java:1704)
Does i have to change something in my code to upgrade from 4.10 to 4.1.1 ?
- I'm also unable to type characters with accents(é,è, ...) in the client . My console
is unusable...

I reinstalled mysql 4.1.0 and everything works fine again (java, console). 
I have no doubt mysql 4.1.1 will bring a lot of ameliorations/bug fixes, but i suppose
i have to wait some more time before it will be usable.

I hope the mention of these bugs can help fixing it.

Bertrand Lanneau.
