Changes to the List of Supported Databases

Berkeley DB no longer supported

We have made a significant number of improvements to Movable Type's database access layer that requires the use of SQL statements found only in later versions of MySQL. For that reason, all versions of Berkeley DB are no longer supported.

MySQL 3.x no longer supported

We have made a significant number of improvements to Movable Type's database access layer that requires the use of SQL statements found only in later versions of MySQL. For that reason, MySQL 3.x and earlier is no longer supported.

MySQL 4.0 users should upgrade to MySQL 4.1 or greater

While we support MySQL 4.0 we recommend that users upgrade to a newer version of MySQL for the following reasons:

  • MySQL 4.0 is not officially supported by the manufacturer
  • There are many database and SQL optimizations found in MySQL 4.1 that Movable Type takes advantage of
