I am also in a similar upgrade situation, but I was thinking that all we
need to do to TRANSFER a db is just zip up the db files *.MYD, *.MYI, and
*.frm? This method worked for me transporting my db's from one mysql server
to another. Is this an "ok" method of transfering db? Or are there some
flaws/risks/incorrectness involved as opposed to dumping?
Thanks,
-Jon
