How about http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp which tests MySQL 4.0.1 and MySQL AB's summary of the latter: http://www.mysql.com/eweek/index.html Unfortuneatly, neither PostgreSQL nor a MySQL 3.23 was not part of the test.

According to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html still 3.23.x is recommended, but from what I know, that probably changes with the next release (see below).

I am not sure why you *had* to rebuild indexes. AFAIK, MySQL 4.0.x should work on tables created with 3.23.x (aveats below ;) [...] > Ok...

According to the 4.0.8 release note, the next version is expected to be declared stable. Since 4.0.9 was released two days later to fix some screw-up that slipped by, 4.0.10 is generally thought to be released as stable, if nothing unexpected happens.

The details are listed here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html which looks rather long, although it isn't that much to be aware of. It's long because they cover every aspect. The short story is that 4.0.x should work out-of-the-box on a 3.23.x database and configuration, but you will have to do some tweaking in order to be able to make full use of the new version. HTH, Benjamin, playing MySQL-advocate, apparently ;-)
