I could not find anything like this on the net, so I thought I’d make my own chart and share it… ;)

Note: I have not included MySQL 3.23 without InnoDB because that version can do vitually nothing interesting. It’s a pure joke. Unfortunately, it is the kind of joke hosting providers like to try on you when they claim they offer you a “DBMS”… yeah right… call it an electronic rollodex, no more :»
I’m a little bit too lazy for styling this right now, sorry.
If you notice an error, please be so nice and report it. Thanks ;)
