MySQL upgrade

[somik]

I saw MySQL version 5.1 is avaliable and i am using v5. It also says that upgrades are one way only one way, so i wanted to ask if i should use 5.1 or not...

Are anyone using it? Is it same as mysql 5.0?

if it is available in your distro's repo, then yes, you should upgrade to 5.1

Hey cs squad

Thanks for the advice. My friend, who helped me setup the server and fix the security holes also upgraded the mysql

I would recommend this, but don't go to the release versions that are not stable, i have known people to do this and have issues with scripts with mysql not running correctly due to the lower version.

Also, please note that you read the documentatio nif you are migration or migration any databases from the 4.1 version for incompatabilites.
