Description:
Features like creating procedures or function and creating views are enabled, even if MySQL Query Browser is connected to a 4.x server.
This results in syntax error messages, if these features will be used with a wrong version of MySQL Server.

How to repeat:
Connect to a MySQL Server of version 4.1 or lower and select for example "create a view from the current select"

Suggested fix:
check the version of the MySQL Server when connecting to it and disable not supported features.

Many thanks for writing a feature request.

Please read here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

"This is the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle for 5.0"

For 5.0 means MySQL version 5.0.

Query Browser is part of it and it is only supported for MySQL 5.0 and not for older versions.
