Master-Slave System Using Different Versions of MySQL

There was a comment this week about a v5 master having problems connecting to a v4 slave, or vice versa. Can someone shed some light on this issue. A manual reference is good, too. Thanks, David

Re: Master-Slave System Using Different Versions of MySQL

Hello, Did you already check: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-compatibility.html You cannot replicate from a master that uses a newer binary log format to a slave that uses an older format (for example, from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 4.1.) Thanks, Jimmy Guerrero Sr Product
