Hi all. I am running MySQL-4.0.4 and have just compiled 4.0.5. On the MySQL website, I found a bit that says:
You can always move the MySQL form and datafiles between different versions on the same architecture as long as you have the same base version of MySQL.So does this mean I can do a 'make install' and then dump my old /usr/local/mysql/var directory on top of the new one and all will be OK? I am using MyISAM and InnoDB tables.
Or should I use the 'safe' method of backing up with mysqldump and importing into the new install?
Thanks!
