Ladies and Gentleman of the list,
I have been a member of the list for about two weeks now and I must say that
I have learned a lot. Needless to say I am relatively new to the whole db
scene.
My question is that I installed mySQL onto my linux box (Red Hat 7.2) as
part of the installation. I am currently running 3.23.42?? I would like to
upgrade my installation to the latest and greatest, however:
a) I do not know which files I have to download server, libraries,
benchmark/test suites, etc.
b) I do not know if I should downlaod and install 4.0.1, or 3.23.49a/50
c) I do not know if I should download and install mySQL or mySQL-max
c) Is the installation as simple as killing the sqld and then
installing the rpm(s). If not what else will I have to do?
For those of you that would like to know I am currently using my db as part
of a backend for my records of my hockey card collection, and statistics for
my hockey team.
I would like to thank all for taking the time to read this and I'd also like
to thank those that will reply (hopefully).
