The Standard binaries are recommended for most users, and includes the InnoDB storage engine. The Max version includes additional features such as the Berkeley DB storage engine and other features that have not been exhaustively tested or are not required for general usage, such as user-defined functions (UDFs), and BIG_TABLE support. When these features have matured and proven to be stable, they will be incorporated into future releases of the Standard binaries. The Debug binaries have been compiled with extra debug information, and are not intended for production use, because the included debugging code may cause reduced performance.
Standard版本是向广大用户推荐，并且包含了InnoDB 存储引擎的版本。Max版本包含了一些诸如Berkeley DB storage engine以及一些未经严格大规模测试的功能或者是一些非常规应用。如：用户自定义函数，BIG_TABLE 支持等等。这些功能一旦成熟和测试稳定之后，将被集成到starndard版本。Debug版本是指加入特别的Debug信息编译而成，并不是专门为产品化应用，因为加入的特别编译代码有可能导致性能的下降。
