Panther Server MySQL datetime Sorting Bug
Mac OS X Server 10.3.2 ships with MySQL 4.0.16. Don't bother turning it on: it's broken out-of-the-box. It fails to correctly sort rows when faced with an ORDER BY directive on a "datetime" column.
This is fairly basic database functionality, and it significantly reduced my opinion of the quality of Mac OS X Server. My line of thought is: if this slipped by, what else is broken?
The work-around is simple: ignore Apple's installation. Instead, download and install the binary directly from mysql.com.
