essjay_d12 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Were currently running version 4.0.18, but are looking to install an open source package that requires MySQL version 4.1 We have many databases/tables within version 4.0.18 Were wondering how updating MySQL will be affected.... will we lose any data? users etc? Is it as simple as downloading the latest version and installing it? Is it possible to be able to get 4.1 rather than the latest edition?

Wildbug Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 4.1 appears to be available. Why not just upgrade to latest version? The only thing I can think of that will cause problems is that the user authentication changed somewhere along there, but I don't recall exactly which version. In fact, it might even have been 3.23-4.0. Check the MySQL docs to see about changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
