Comment:

 Plugin authors should limit their query features to {{{MySQL 4.0}}} as
 !WordPress does or inform users of which {{{MySQL}}} version is required.
 If checks need to be done, they may do so during the activation process to
 inform users that they have a wrong version.

 However, since their is no pre-activation hook (#4048) currently in
 !WordPress Plugin authors can not prevent their activation based on their
 check. However, there are only a few features in {{{MySQL 5.0+}}} and most
 plugins can go without.
