MySQL Downloads

The software available in MySQL Network and the MySQL Community Edition is 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 the MySQL database server as part of their own commercial solutions, can purchase a MySQL commercial license.

Please note that when you download the software below, it is the MySQL Community Edition. MySQL Community Edition has not been certified and is not considered ready for enterprise production use. It does, however, provide a quick and easy way for open source developers and technology enthusiasts to get started with MySQL. To receive Certified Software that meets high levels of quality testing for consistent uptime and fast performance, you will want to purchase MySQL Network. MySQL Network includes MySQL Advisors that help eliminate problems before they occur and production support directly from MySQL support engineers worldwide.
