Description:
Hello,

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html indicates that the default value of useOldAliasMetadataBehavior is false.  This is the case as of C/J 5.1, but the 5.0.x releases have a default value of true.  This makes for unpleasant surprises when upgrading C/J versions from 5.0 to 5.1, and there is no indication that this behavior has changed.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Can we please add a note to the useOldAliasMetadataBehavior documentation that the default value was true in 5.0.x and was changed to false in 5.1?

I've updated the descriptions of the values in C/J (And this in turn will update the table). I've also added a note to the upgrade section of the documentation for 5.0-5.1 upgrades. We already had a note about the change in behavior, but not the option change.
