- For a list of features that we plan to add in MySQL 5.1, see

+ The following features are implemented in MySQL 5.1.

to this section as 5.1 development continues.

+ Partitioning:
+ allows distributing portions of individual tables
+ across a filesystem, according to rules which can be set when the
+ table is created. In effect, different portions of a table are stored
+ as separate tables in different locations, but from the user
+ point of view, the partitioned table is still a single table. See
+ for further
+ information on this functionality. (Author: Mikael Ronström)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Plugin API:
+ MySQL 5.1 will add support for a very flexible plugin API that will
+ allow the loading and unloading of various components at runtime,
+ without restarting the server. While the work on this are not finished
+ yet, pluggable full-text parsers
+ are a first step in this direction.
+ This allows users to implement their own input filter on the indexed
+ text, enabling full-text search capability on arbitrary data like PDF
+ files or other document formats. A pre-parser full-text plugin
+ performs the actual parsing and extraction of the text and hands it
+ over to the builtin MySQL full-text search.
