Apologies for the “pick of the brain” but I’m setting up a replacement for
our production server and I’m wondering about whether it’s time to kick
MySQL into the long grass and use MySQL 5.5 instead.  We’ve been using MySQL
5.1 for years and the old adage “if it ain’t broke” hasn’t changed over the
years.

 

I’m going to set the new machine up as a slave for a week or two to watch it
“burn in” and then swap it over and of course as you are meant to upgrade
slaves first when going from 5.1 to 5.5 this is the opportunity to upgrade
versions if anyone thinks it  worthwhile for dbmail.

 

I was a little tempted by MariaDB but after the recent bug that was
mentioned on this list I’m slightly put off.
