MySQL 5.1 Downloads
MySQL Products are available under the "dual licensing" model. Under this model, users may choose to use MySQL products under the free software/open source GNU General Public License (commonly known as the "GPL") or under a commercial license. ISVs and Resellers, who are embedding and reselling MySQL as part of their own commercial solutions, can purchase a MySQL commercial license. See our OEM products page for details.

MySQL 5.1 Community Edition - Beta Development Release
NOTE: This beta release, as any other pre-production release, should not be installed on production level systems or systems with critical data. It is good practice to back up your data before installing any new version of software. Although MySQL has worked very hard to ensure a high level of quality, protect your data by making a backup as you would for any other software beta release. MySQL generally recommends that you dump and reload your tables from any previous version to upgrade to 5.1.
As we're working on making some changes to how we will provide binary distributions of MySQL 5.1, this release currently only provides "Max" binaries for a few selected platforms as well as the source distributions.
Please report any bugs or inconsistencies you observe to our Bugs Database. Thank you for your support!
