I need to migrate a 3.23.52 MySQL server to a version with InnoDB (and row level locking). The catch is, I need to do it in a hurry (by the end of the week). It is a production system with over 300 users. Some tables have over 2,000,000 rows.
The main question I have is should I take this opportunity to upgrade to MySQL4, or should I just upgrade to 3.24 with InnoDB support. I would like to go to 4 just because I am going to have to do it at some point, but that raises a few other questions that I haven't been able to find answers to. Can I install MySQL 4 on a system with MySQL 3.23 and then just switch over when I have it configured (with the only down time being the time it takes to move the data). Are the two versions compatible that I don't need to go through that trouble and can just reliably upgrade (via rpm). Are there any changes that I need to make to the PHP code running the web app that connects to MySQL (I can find this one out elsewhere I am sure). Any help will be appreciated, as will links to documentation/tutorials that I have missed with Google.
