To what extent can MySQL clients interact with servers of different versions?
In particular, if I link an Apache PHP module with the client libraries for MySQL version 5.0.51, will I be able to use it to connect to a version 4.1.22 server? I ask this because I am running a web hosting service, and have a number of different users using MySQL 4.1 servers via PHP from Apache. I need to help them to convert their servers to MySQL 5. If the mixed-version set-up described above is OK, I could conveniently upgrade them all to the same new PHP module _before_ upgrading the servers individually. If the mixed-version set-up is not OK, I have a more challenging task. I have to keep the clients and servers in step. P.S. I am more familiar with Oracle than with MySQL. I know that an Oracle 10 client can be used with with servers going back at least to Oracle 8. -- Charles Jardine - Computing Service, University of Cambridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1223 334506, Fax: +44 1223 334679 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
