Hello, Does someone have a strategy for upgrading MySQL? For example, I'm currently running 5.2.1-RELEASE with mysql-server-4.1.1_2. The current MySQL version is 4.1.2. If I simply run portupgrade, will the new MySQL binary be "OK" with the older-style database files? If I were to dump the 4.1.1 files then restore, there may have been changes in the schema that could make this problematic. I've searched the archives and have turned up nothing useful. One would think this would be covered in MySQL's excellent on-line docs, but I could find no mention of upgrading. Thanks for your help. -- Regards, Doug
