Re: Installations problems with dbmail 3.2.3

RHEL doesn't ship MySQL as default anymore just because of licensing
issues, not because of any problem of any kind.  You basically just have
to download the RPMs from Oracle site, not a big deal, I'd say. 

As per MySQL roadmap you can easily read major things from 5.7 here: 

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-nutshell.html 

And from 8.0 here: 

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-nutshell.html 

To me the major interesting points are the speed optimizations, the JSON
formats, the Memcached interfaces. 

Remember that, although I can see pretty clearly Oracle's pretty closed
mindset, MySQL's codebase is backed by many commits from Facebook and
other big player. 

Just take a look at https://www.facebook.com/MySQLatFacebook/ if you're
curious, there are a lot of performances checks monitorings and many
other interesting related things.
