Mike, if this data is at all important to you, I'd highly recommend doing your testing on copies of your data files, rather than your originals.
If it's not important, then I'd go ahead and try it. The MyISAM storage engine is pretty mature and stable. For safety's sake once you get it back to 4.1 I'd suggest running CHECK TABLE tablename EXTENDED on each to ensure integrity. I've always had success going forward with releases, but haven't ever tried going back that I recall. Dan On 8/7/06, mos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm planning on installing MySQL 5.0 today and will try rebuilding some of the indexes for one of my tables to conduct some benchmarks. I will probably reboot back to MySQL 4.10 and continue using the database. Have the table formats changed from 4.10 to 5.0? Or can I create/modify tables in 5.0 and then use the same tables in 4.0? Are there any speed improvements in 5.0 compared to 4.1?
