What if one is using rpm - should just use the --upgrade option rpm -U <MySQL-server-4.x> Is this ok to do?
Thanks

Hi, everyone.
I have a 4.0.4 beta install of Mysql on Red Hat 7.3. I want to upgrade
it to 4.0.16, and keep all the data intact. Do I just dump the
databases (just in case), stop the server, then "./configure, make, make
install" over top of the old server and start it up again and see what
happens?
exactly. The dump is a good idea. Make sure that you compile with the same options to configure as your 4.0.4 build (everything should go to the same directory as it was before). This used to be a problem with SuSE distributions when installing over an old prm installation, because they used to have a different directory layout. I can't tell you how RedHat did this.
