You should be able to restore the individual database directories under mysql 4 and use ALTER TABLE to upgrade the file formats. You'll lose the user access stuff, but that's usually easy enough to reconstruct. In MySQL, each database is self-describing. That is, for database foo, the files in the foo/ directory are both the description of the tables and the data in them. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/upgrading-from-3-23.html R's, John _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
