While the above is true it fails to answer the question, "As |
| 6 |
DBA/sysadmin what is the actual difference between the two so I can pick |
| 7 |
the right one for my workload." At least that's the question I |
| 8 |
interpreted the first post as asking. |

Right now the code bases are exactly the same. Going forward it's not |
| 11 |
clear whether I'll be able to compile Mysql Enterprise myself with |
| 12 |
support for the Sphinx storage engine which is very fast for full text |
| 13 |
searches and a feature I desperately need. Also unclear is if the high |
| 14 |
concurrency Innodb thread fixes are going to be implemented in Community |
| 15 |
or Enterprise first. Enterprise appears to be the stable branch and will |
| 16 |
have changes back ported from Community, but the docs are less than |
| 17 |
clear at this point. In any case the issues are a bit more complicated |
| 18 |
than where your support comes from at least at the high end. For your |
| 19 |
general web-app either would be fine. |
