RE: MySQL version 3.23 to 5.x features
Assuming that your goal is to migrate an old database, perhaps the things that will bite you the fastest: * TYPE=MyISAM -- ENGINE=MyISAM. * CHARACTER SETs -- no concept in until 4.1. Use DEFAULT CHARACTER SET=latin1 for now. Later you can figure out how to migrate to utf8. (Note that 5.5 defaults to utf8, which is likely to dislike your bytes.) I would dump the data, then import into 5.x. Upgrading step by step would be quite tedious. Migration to InnoDB is also desirable, but not mandatory. -Original Message- From: Nagaraj S [mailto:nagaraj@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 12:16 AM To: shawn green Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: MySQL version 3.23 to 5.x features wow it really helped me a lot.

I can pretty much summarize the deficiencies in 3.23 like this * No InnoDB, Archive, CSV, Federated, or Blackhole storage engines * No table partitioning * No Views * No Stored Procedures or Stored Functions * No Triggers * No Events * Severe scalability limits (won't run as fast with reasonably concurrent loads even on great hardware as later versions) * Completely out of print (unpublished) and unsupported. * Missing literally thousands of bug fixes and performance improvements Any new project should be starting out with 5.6. Any production server should be on 5.5 or 5.6 by now or migrating soon. It is also a fairly safe bet that if you are still operating a 3.23 instance of MySQL that it is also time to upgrade your hardware.

Just to add one reference to Shawn's list, there is also a MySQL Server Version Reference at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqld-version-reference/en/index.html. It is lower level such as which options and functions are available in each major version. However it does not start out before version 5.0, so will not help you over the 3.23 - 4.0 - 5.0 hurdle.
