Hi all, I am investigating upgrading from our current release of MySql. (We use Red-Hat 7.2 and it ships with 3.23.41).
Anyway, I am interested in upgrading to either the latest 3.23 release or the latest stable 4.0 release. My concerns are which is an easier and/or less risky upgrade? We have our own server programs that use mysql embedded libraries to access the database.. since the development rpms have been updated, I assume changes have been made to this stuff -- but is it as easy as just recomplining? Does code typically have to be altered (for either release)? And last but not least, if we install mysql4 on a machine but then want to downgrade server revisions, would they be compatible to each other? IE: If we compile a server against the 4.0 development rpms, could it run against a 3.2 deamon... and vice versa? I've been reading alot about upgrading on the website and it seems to point towards an easy process, but my boss is very nervous about it - and I was hoping to get some 'been-there-done-that' advice from the group.
