Re: need to upgrade
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.

Don't you mean you need to transfer your dbs from one server to another. -- Dr. Joseph Dolan: Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar? Fletch: I don't know. I don't have any.

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 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
