Hi all, I'm trying to drag a database through the upgrade process from 5.0.32 but I keep running into small cross-version compatibility issues.
At present my live database is running 5.0.32 and is large enough that it would take too long (read days) to perform an upgrade on, and drives an important application for us that can't tolerate a significant outage. It's also gets frequent writes. The plan I'm pursuing involves taking a db dump I have from a while back, importing it into a newer version of MySQL, then letting replication bring that newer version up to date. This way I can bring things along jump by jump until I make it to current. However I keep hitting replication bugs that mean I have to do this is small jumps - for example I was working on 5.0.32 to 5.0.81 and hit this one http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=24432. So it looks like I now need a 5.0.34 install to transition through, but I can't find anywhere on the MySQL site that offers access to previous releases like that, does anyone know where I can find them ? I'm equally open to better solutions to my upgrade approach if anyone has any :-) Cheers Dave -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
