By "feature additions" I assume that you mean "extra functionality added by patches". Note the subtle difference -- "minimal" disables default functionality (provided upstream) while "vanilla" disables patched-in functionality. Of course, there is the "server" use flag that mysql could use with great success. -- -* Georgi Georgiev -* "So, will the Andover party have a cash -* *- chutz@gg3.net *- bar?"
