 1.1 About This Manual
 =====================
 
 This is the Reference Manual for the MySQL Database System, version
 5.0, through release 5.0.19. It is not intended for use with older
 versions of the MySQL software due to the many functional and other
 differences between MySQL 5.0 and previous versions.
 
 If you are using a version 4.1 release of the MySQL software, please
 refer to the `MySQL 3.23, 4.0, 4.1 Reference Manual', which covers the
 3.23, 4.0, and 4.1 series of MySQL software releases. Differences
 between minor versions of MySQL 5.0 are noted in the present text with
 reference to release numbers (5.0.X).
 
 Because this manual serves as a reference, it does not provide general
 instruction on SQL or relational database concepts. It also does not
 teach you how to use your operating system or command-line interpreter.
 
 The MySQL Database Software is under constant development, and the
 Reference Manual is updated frequently as well. The most recent version
 of the manual is available online in searchable form at
 `http://dev.mysql.com/doc/'. Other formats also are available there,
 including HTML, PDF, and Windows CHM versions.
 
 The Reference Manual source files are written in DocBook XML format.
 The HTML version and other formats are produced automatically,
 primarily using the DocBook XSL stylesheets. For information about
 DocBook, see `http://docbook.org/'
 
 If you have any suggestions concerning additions or corrections to this
 manual, please send them to the documentation team at <docs@mysql.com>.
