Thank you for numerous feature requests and documentation requests. Please, remember about existing customers/scripts/backward compatibility issues. If we'll do like you suggested: "Remove the repeated functionality from mysql server commands, and the manual." we'll get hundreds of unsatisfied customers immediately. I agree that it can be difficult to absorb all the ways and features, but simple + incompatible new version is not an option. At least, for versions 5.x.y. This is a long process, and nobody can tell you definitly if any of the problems you mentioned will be eventually solved.

Thankyou for your reply Valeriy. I agree with you that this could take some time to implement, which is why I proposed the changes for version 6.0.x not version 5.x.x. Is there any way to split the current development tree so that you can begin to implement these changes in a pre-release 6.0.x branch of the server code without breaking backward incompatibility? Perhaps one branch could be the currrent 5.x.x branch, and the other could be a pre-release 6.0.x branch not yet released until all the changes have been implemented in pre-release 6.0.x version, and it is ready to be released as the current version? This would give you plenty of time to implement the proposed changes into mysql version 6.0.x without upsetting your current user base. The reason for these changes is to make the learning curve for mysql as easy as possible, without loosing any of the required functionality. I'm sure in the long term this would be of benefit to mysql AB and their user base. Kind Regards Keith Roberts
