Thanks for looking into this Chico (and adding your thoughts Adam). We definitely do want to move to the Connector/J 5.1 version.
As Adam mentions, the only precondition before making the change is just to get verification that the test suite passes with the updated library and that someone has done some smoke tests in a deployed instance of the application to make sure it looks ok. Once that is done we can commit the change and get it up on the test server where it can get some additional scrutiny. If we find any issues it's easy enough to roll back. After getting the 5.1 lib in place then we can have a discussion about which version of MySQL we should settle on for our recommended version.
