I think you're mistaken. In my C:\mysql, I have several different executables, exactly according to the following from the 4.1.1-alpha doc:

QUOTE 2.1.1.4 Selecting a Windows Server Starting with MySQL 3.23.38, the Windows distribution includes both the normal and the MySQL-Max server binaries. Here is a list of the different MySQL servers from which you can choose:

Binary Description mysqld Compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking, symbolic links, and InnoDB and BDB tables. mysqld-opt Optimised binary. From version 4.0 on, InnoDB is enabled. Before 4.0, this server includes no transactional table support. mysqld-nt Optimised binary for NT/2000/XP with support for named pipes. mysqld-max Optimised binary with support for symbolic links, and InnoDB and BDB tables. mysqld-max-nt Like mysqld-max, but compiled with support for named pipes.

All of the preceding binaries are optimised for modern Intel processors but should work on any Intel i386-class or higher processor.

There is more information than I have quoted here.

Hi all:

The following section in the manual seems to indicate that I shouldn't compile my own win32 version since a suitable binary might already exist.

However, the only binaries available for win32 seem to be debug versions (even the older 3.23.* versions).

My questions:

1) where can I get a non-debug version of MySQL for win32 (version 4.0.*) 2) why are there no non-debug binaries for win32 available?

Any help appreciated.

2.3.6 Installing MySQL from Source on Windows These instructions describe how to build MySQL binaries from source for versions 4.1 and above on Windows. Instructions are provided for building binaries from a standard source distribution or from the BitKeeper tree that contains the latest development source. Note: The instructions in this document are strictly for users who want to test MySQL on Windows from the latest source distribution or from the BitKeeper tree. For production use, MySQL AB does not advise using a MySQL server built by yourself from source. Normally, it is best to use precompiled binary distributions of MySQL that are built specifically for optimal performance on Windows by MySQL AB. Instructions for installing a binary distributions are available at section 2.2.1 Installing MySQL on Windows.
