The online documentation would be a good place to start.

 Subject: need to upgrade
 
 I need to upgrade MySQL from a RH7.2 server to either a Suse 
 Enterprise 9.2 or Debian 3.1 server.  I understand that the 
 only way to get the data from the RH7.2 server is via 
 mysqldump.  Are there any gotchas or issues doing this?
 
 Thanks

Yes, potentially there are gotchcas. It all depends on your current
MySQL server version and the version you are upgrading to.

Assuming you are upgrading 3.23 to 4.0, what I would do is look at the
official documentation regarding upgrades from exactly this scenario:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/upgrading-from-3-23.html

I think you'll find the upgrade pretty painless from a data point of
view, but you will need to heed the changes to the GRANT tables.

all right, basically, what you just said was the equivalent of I want to 
upgrade my Office 1997 to Windows XP.  Don't you mean you need to transfer 
your dbs from one server to another.
