I read "WeBWorK 2 is primarily tested with MySQL 3. It will also work with MySQL 4". Does that mean the current version of WeBwork2, like PR4 and CVS version does NOT support MySQL 4? Is there a list of well-known problems with MySQL 4?

Thanks.

WeBWorK 2 does currently support MySQL 4. The installation manual was badly worded. New wording:

WeBWorK 2 is primarily tested with MySQL 3. It also works with MySQL 4. With small code changes, it can be made to work with other SQL databases for which there is a Perl DBD:: module. (For example, DBD::sqlite or DBD::Oracle.)
