I would strongly suggest logging all your 4.0 queries for at least 24
hours and then running them on your new 5.x server to avoid any
surprises such as incompatible queries for example.
Good luck!

Hi all, I am on... wait for it... version 4.0.25 and I want to
upgrade to MySQL 5.x
Is there anything special I should do in order to upgrade? Do I need
to uninstall v4 or can I just download the most current version and
double click to upgrade? I am not particularly hardcore mysql
minded, and quite honestly, if it ain't broke don't fix it is a good
mantra of mine... but I need to move on now as I have received an
sql file that is v5 compatible but not v4 compatible.
mysql@lists.mysql.com
Once I have it up and running I'll be fine, it's just that I am
nervous about upgrading and consequently breaking it, and at that
point, I'll be struggling to put it right.
Any advice on how I can best do this / best practices etc will be
very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Mat
