Dear MySQL-ers, After upgrading to MySQL 5.0.24a (from 4.0.26), I've been raking my brain over installing DBD-mysql-3.0007. Installed DBI-1.52, then DBD::mysql, all by the book. Troublesome installation. But that's not what I want to ask about.
So, after installing DBI-1.52 (built against libmysqlclient.so.15), I tried to see if I could connect with "Use DBI;" anyway, with the old DBD drivers. And I can. So, my question is, how is this possible?? I thought headers had changed (and should have, significantly, between 4.0.26 and 5.0.24a). And that the BDB::mysql drivers abolutely need upgrading too. I ran pretty complex database stuff on it, and all seems to work just fine. Did I misunderstand the upgrade process? I mean, I don't mind that it works fine; I just don't understand why. :) Thanks, - Mark -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
