Difference between mysql essential and community version - mysql

I am working on a project and I was advised to install MySQL essential version for my application but when I searched on the web, I found the community version of MySQL from MySQL official website but not the essential. It also seem to me that the essential version has been moved to their archive.
What is the main difference?
Is the essential version now the community version?
I already know that both are the free version of MySQL.

I believe the essential version is a developer's installation (Drivers, tools, etc) where the community edition is just the server itself.

mysql installation on SUSE 15 Failing with : Problem: nothing provides 'libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.28)(64bit)'

Im trying to install mysql on SUSE 15 Sp2 :
Followed steps from official documentation :
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-sles-repo-quick-guide/en/
But when i tried to install the mysql getting following error :
Problem: nothing provides 'libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.28)(64bit)' needed by the
to be installed mysql-community-server-8.0.29-1.sl15.x86_64
Solution
1: do not install mysql-community-server-8.0.29-1.sl15.x86_64
Solution 2: break mysql-community-server-8.0.29-1.sl15.x86_64 by
ignoring some of its dependencies
According to the list of platforms that are supported by this version of MySQL, version 15.3 of openSUSE is required. That's probably what's going wrong here: The version of glibc which is provided by the repositories of your openSUSE 15.2 is too old for this MySQL version. If possible, I would recommend you backup your system and then upgrade to 15.3 and then to 15.4, see these instructions. Especially when you intend to do development, it's really wise to first upgrade your OS to the latest version, because only then will you have the latest versions of the technologies you're learning – otherwise, some things you learn will be outdated from day one.

proper download url for mysql for mac for this scenario?

I'm developing a system for a client and I think he may only have a Mac. I recently downloaded and installed MySQL on my Windows laptop for the first time. I think I stumbled around a bit trying to get the correct download and understand the install process. When I google MySQL downloads, I get the following url:
https://www.mysql.com/downloads/
The header on the page says "MySQL Enterprise Edition." Usually, the "Enterprise Edition" of a company's software costs money, but in the case of MySQL is it free? The following tool was installed with my local install of MySQL:
MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE
This is the standard client tool for MySQL, I got the hang of it pretty quickly, so I'd like to simply standardize on it. Can you provide a good download url for the latest free version of the Mac version of MySQL? Can you also provide a good download url for the latest free version of the Windows version of MySQL just so that I have it for reference?
Like I mentioned, it was my first time installing MySQL recently, but I think at the end of the installation, a Window popped up asking how I wanted to configure the MySQL installation, but it so happened that the MySQL installation was already complete. Or does this scenario most likely seem to indicate I had already installed MySQL and the configuration popup was just the installer's handling of my attempt to install MySQL on my machine when I had previously installed it?
Look all the way down to the bottom of this image:
Click on "MySQL Community (GPL) Downloads". It takes you to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ which is where you can download the Community Edition of MySQL Server.
They don't restrict downloads of their free product, they just put it in a smaller font. :-)
It's understandable that they would want to promote their paid product.

Drools workbench 7.12.0 for Tomcat

I am new to Drools and am trying to install drools server and workbench 7.12.0. I happen to see see a tomcat version of the war for the workbench in the previous versions but not for 7.12.0. Can someone point me to the right war to be used for Tomcat?
I checked the documentation, its says a tailored version of the war is available but I could not find one.
Best Regards,
Hanmanth.
As per clarification here , it appears support for tomcat is dropped, until there are folks who want to maintain it.
You can switch over to wildfly (community) version of kie-workbench.

MYSQL Backward compatible to 5.1.1?

I have a Wordpress site that was developed on a server running the latest version of MYSQL, however, I've just found out the host server (BT) is running 5.1.1. and they have no plans to upgrade anytime soon.
Does anyone know if there is a way of converting the database so it runs on 5.1.1 with no issues caused re the site being built in the latest version of Wordpress?
If this is a massive issue, then I do have some alternative hosting options, but I'm hoping for a way forward re conversion - any geniuses out there?
Many thanks
I doubt that BT is running MySQL 5.1.1. That version was never released. It was an internal development milestone in 2005.
The first GA release of the 5.1 branch was 5.1.30 in 2008. The last 5.1 release was 5.1.73 in 2013. But after 2013, 5.1 has been in "sustaining support" which means they will not make any new versions or fixes.
You shouldn't deploy to a hosting site that still runs any 5.1.x version. A site that is so far behind is probably behind on other software too, and I would not be surprised if they have known security vulnerabilities.
Wordpress officially requires MySQL 5.6 or later, according to https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/.
You could try to test that by testing on MySQL 5.1 (assuming you can find an installation package of MySQL 5.1). Use mysqldump to export data from your 5.6 database server and then import that to MySQL 5.1. The output of mysqldump wraps newer syntax in special comments that will be ignored by older versions of MySQL Server.
Regardless, my recommendation is:
Find another hosting service running MySQL 5.6 or 5.7.
Develop and test your site with the same versions of all software (MySQL, PHP, Apache, etc.) that you will eventually deploy to.

Connector/net does not support server versions prior to 5.0 after downgrading connector/net and mysql server version

Hi I believe there have been some similar topics regarding connector/ net not supporting server versions prior to 5.0.
I have been trying add in a connection to a database in visual studio 2013 and I am not able to connect due to the server version being 4.1.2 I am unable to upgrade this databases server as its out of my hands.
What I have done is follow the suggested answers which is downgrade the connector/ net prior to 5.0 and downgrade the mysql server to 4.1.
I have added in the reference and its still giving me the same error.
Can anyone suggest anything else I could try or may be missing?
Cheers guys I'm pretty desperate now!!
See MySQL Connector/Net Developer Guide - Connector/Net Versions. This document contains table that shows the .NET Framework version required, and the MySQL Server version supported by Connector/Net.
For MySQL Server 4.1 you may need to install Connector/NET v. 6.2 and .NET Framework 2.x
what you must do is, install a lower NuGet that supports the version you have of maria db, in my case, I install the MySql.Data.EntityFramework 8.0.11 and it will work without problem.
