Hello,

I have Percona MySQL 5.5 server. I want to install compatible TokuDB plugin and then use it on the same server.  
Does MySQL 5.5 support TokuDB? Because I can not find it on the Downloads page:  
[url][https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.5/LATEST/[/url]](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.5/LATEST/%5B/url%5D)

In the same time tokudb is available for mysql 5.6 here:  
[url][https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.6/LATEST/[/url]](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.6/LATEST/%5B/url%5D)

I can not find any statements that mysql 5.5 does not support it.  
Please help and clarify how can I install and use TokuDB on MySQL 5.5  
Thank you.

Hi,

TokuDB started to be supported in PS only on version 5.6 so I don’t think you can use it on 5.5. There might have been some builds from Tokutek before acquired by Percona for 5.5 but even if they existed before I wouldn’t use them.

Thank you for the answer!
