Hi :)

Sorry for my bad english i'm a frenchi...

I have a little question about mysql.

What is the difference between mysql-server in centos vs the rpm build by Sun ( Mysql community edition)

RedHat apply homemade patch or they only backport Sun patch?

No, probably just built under RHEL (or CentOS) rather than Fedora Core or something. It might be identical. Or just a version or so behind to insure stability over the lifetime of the RHEL/CentOS major version. Security patches will be 'back ported' and released as release updates on the base version. If you use the rpms from the CentOS repository you are guaranteed that things that depend on mysql-server won't break, but all essential (security mostly) fixes will be implemented.
