Are you referring to Slashcode or MySQL?  Slash is not in beta, but your
MySQL is, of course.

As mentioned several times on this list and on the web site, MySQL 3.23 is
NOT compatible with Slash yet.  It will fail.  Don't use it.  It's not a
matter of being in beta, it is a matter of incompatible changes to the
database (most notably the fact that autoincrement fields cannot have
negative values in them, but Slash relies on the uid, which is an
autoincrement field, for anonymous users being -1).

This is also a known problem with the dump from slash 1.0.7, and has been
fixed in CVS for some time, and will be fixed in the next update (1.0.8).
It also fails with MySQL 3.22.  We are planning on releasing 1.0.8 this
morning, so all will be well then.  :-)  Thanks.

Well, there's this:

but I don't think it is searchable.
