MySQL Product Catalog

MySQL Product Catalog

MySQL Installer stores a MySQL product catalog. The catalog can be updated either manually or automatically, and the catalog change history is also available.

Note

The MySQL product catalog was added in MySQL Installer 1.4.0.

Manual updates

You can update the MySQL product catalog at any time by clicking Catalog on the Installer dashboard.

Figure 2.14 MySQL Installer - Open the MySQL Product Catalog

From there, click Execute to update the product catalog.

Automatic updates

You can configure MySQL Installer to automatically update the MySQL product catalog once per day. To enable this feature and set the update time, click the wrench icon on the Installer dashboard.

The next window configures the Automatic Catalog Update. Enable or disable this feature, and also set the hour.

Figure 2.15 MySQL Installer - Configure the Catalog Scheduler

This option uses the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a task named "ManifestUpdate".

Change History

MySQL Installer tracks the change history for all of the MySQL products. Click Catalog from the dashboard, optionally update the catalog (or, toggle the Do not update at this time checkbox), click Next/Execute, and then view the change history.
