[SOLVED] Upgrading from MySQL 4 to version 5


mysty

Recommended Posts

When I created my DB, my hosting company (1and1) used MySQL 4.something.  Now, I would like to upgrade.  I created a new, smapll test DB and version 5 is apparently available, so I wanted to upgrade the old one to version 5.  How can I do that?

I know how to export the DB and tables, is it a simple matter of exporting the tables, create the new DB, and then import the tables to the new DB?  I have over 14, 000 names and addresses I don't want to have to re-enter.  BTW, I am not upgrading just because.  Version 5 has some new things I would like to try and besides, I don't think version 4 is supported any more.
