Hi Phil, I guess I don't know the "best possible way" (is there realy one?). But let's see... Your OS is OS X? At the moment you are using 3.23.51, the actual Version is 3.23.56 I think ... well you could date your system up I guess ( http://www.mysql.com/downloads/download.php?file=Downloads%2FMySQL-3.23%2Fmy sql-3.23.56-apple-darwin6.4-powerpc.tar.gz&pick=mirror ) or you need to find your version of mysql ..
Well, if you got the files you need you can extract the tarball to a different location and try to merge by hand (the files). I don't know the directory structute of Darwin ... So I guess I can't help you very much with this. Alternatevly their might be an installer out there for OS X (for mysql). Greetings, Stefan P.S.: To upgrade to .56 is not a bad idea cause of some security issues! -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Phil Dobbin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Sonntag, 23.

Sounds a good idea but I'm unsure how to go about it. Would you know the best possible way?
