I think most of it will work with MySQL 3.23, but I strongly suggest
making upgrading MySQL an option!

The Python MySQLdb module works with 3.23 (not with 3.22 btw), but
since 3.23 is already EoL (End Of Life) since a while now, do
consider getting yourself a new hoster or upgrade to at least
MySQL 4.0.. The Django backend might not work forever with old
MySQL versions like 3.23..

Cheers,

Geert
