1.7.1.2 Asking Questions or Reporting Bugs

Before posting a bug report or question, please do the following:

• Start by searching the MySQL online manual at:
  http://www.mysql.com/doc/
  We try to keep the manual up to date by updating it frequently with solutions to newly found problems. The change history appendix (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/News.html) can be particularly useful since it is quite possible that a newer version already contains a solution to your problem.
• Search in the bugs database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ to see whether the bug has already been reported/solved.
• Search the MySQL mailing list archives:
  http://lists.mysql.com/
  
• You can also use http://www.mysql.com/search/ to search all the web pages (including the manual) that are located at http://www.mysql.com/.

If you can't find an answer in the manual or the archives, check with your local MySQL expert. If you still can't find an answer to your question, please follow the guidelines on sending mail to mysql@lists.mysql.com, outlined in the next section, before contacting us.
