Need Help Upgrading From 4.x to 4.x
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?

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.

Re: Need Help Upgrading From 4.x to 4.x
You could either use mysqldump or just copy the data directory to a safe place. Also, if you do not need any special build flags, you should use the official MySQL binaries, either the RPM or tarball. They optimized the binaries. -will - Original Message - From: Thomas Spahni [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mark Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 10:18 AM Subject: Re: Need Help Upgrading From 4.x to 4.x On Wed, 19 Nov 2003, Mark Marshall wrote: Hi, everyone.

Re: Need Help Upgrading From 4.x to 4.x
What if one is using rpm - should just use the --upgrade option rpm -U MySQL-server-4.x Is this ok to do?
