Hi

I want to upgrade my mysql 3.23 to 4.1 as I want to convert a mssql app that
has lots and lots of subselects. I hear that 4.1 now supports this (I hope).


I used apt-get to install 3.23 so how can I install 4.1 over the top and not get into any trouble is what Im after?

Ive tried apt-get install/upgrade mysql-server and it tells me Ive got the
latest.

Im using Debian 3.0 Woody.

I would be (very) surprised if someone made a debian package for MySQL-4.1. As you noticed, they don't even have one for MySQL-4.0 yet.

If you want to use 4.1 (and I would recommend against it currently - for starters, there are issues with connecting from older clients) then you will have to uninstall the old MySQL (I don't know how you do that on Debian) and compile the new 4.1 from source. There are very good instructions for how to do this included in the source.

I'm waiting for _at least_ another 4.1.x release before trying it out. I'll probably also wait for a few releases of MyODBC-3.52 - which currently has not been released yet.

By the way, what do the Commonwealth Bank use MySQL for? (just curious)
