39 39  XWiki does not fully work with MySQL versions 4.x or lower, due to several limitations of the way the SQL standards are implemented in MySQL, limited support for non-latin1 encodings, the flaky integration of Hibernate and MySQL 4, and other things. Most of the application works fine, but there are some parts that cannot be easily fixed, so if you must use MySQL 4.x, you're doing it on your own. Seriously, MySQL 4 is pretty old and buggy, you should consider upgrading.
