In my opinion this isn't really true. MySQL has a record of accidentally changing ABI between minor releases - sometimes undocumented - and then reverting the change in for the next release; see mysql bugs #21829, #23427 for example. Also a lot of features receive "Incompatible change" mentions in their changelogs; whether one of them affects you or not is random. ;-)
Mm. Good point. I had recollections of them being good about it in the 3.23.x days, but I wonder if that's just my selective memory.
To end this message on a more positive tone upgrading between MySQL versions is certainly easiler than with PostgreSQL (8.0 -> 8.1 -> 8.2 -> 8.3 -> etc) ;-)
Yeah, the whole "dump, upgrade, restore" thing has always made me glad I'm not a Postgres user. :)
