Re: How to migrate from MySQL 3 to MySQL 5 (installed from sources)
Never tried it with version 3 only 4.1 but it has a --compatible switch with a version 3.23 switch see command line --help so I assume the mysql guys are allowing you to dump 3.23. Try dumping it without the switch as you will be restoring to 5.0. The idea is to make sure the restore is done using a version 5 compatible dump. Keep us posted. thomas Armstrong wrote: Make sure you use the mysqldump from version 5 and not version 3.

Hi All Make sure you use the mysqldump from version 5 and not version 3. Also recheck all your application queries once you have restored the data the list of changes SQL syntax might haunt you. Mark thomas Armstrong wrote: Hi Tiago. Thank you very much for your answer. I decided to migrate to MySQL 5.0, and I've got some questions: - I installed MySQL from sources on '/usr/local/mysql'. Is it as easy as installing it again on '/usr/local/mysql5'? Yep. Just change the '--prefix' com './configure' time. ok - what must I back up to migrate data? '/usr/local/mysql/var' directory? - is there any tutorial/webpage to carry out this migration? I would like to suggest that you do one dump on old database, stop the old and restore on newer database. Just copy the datafiles can work on small upgrades (mysql 3 -> 4) but I don't know what is the problem of this, I prefer the basic: dump and restore. So you're suggesting to: - install MySQL 5 from sources on '/usr/local/mysql5' without starting it - dump data from MySQL 3 - stop MySQL 3 - start MySQL 5 - restore data in MySQL 5 - delete MySQL 3 is it right? -- Mark Carson Managing Integrated Product Intelligence CC EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] snailmail : P.O.
