Hello, I'd like to upgrade MySQL in use for Bacula from 3.23 to 5.0 (or at least 4.1). I'm running Bacula 1.36 on RHEL3, and I've found a post by Scott Barniger dated just one year ago that it's possible to install the shared-compat rpm in order to avoid recompilation of Bacula.
What would be a safe procedure to do the upgrade? 1) stop Bacula 2) backup mysql with e.g. mysqldump tool 3) install mysql, mysql-server and mysql-shared-compat rpms 4) reload the database 5) run the mysql_fix_priviledge_tables [for MySQL 5.0] 6) type "/etc/bacula/bacula start" with crossed fingers :-) Another question is: MySQL recommends to do the upgrade step by step, i.e. 3.23 -> 4.0 -> 4.1 -> 5.0. Is that necessary and if it should be done, does every step involve dumping and reloading again the database?
