Hi Folks,
Now a question of my own ... to people who have been down the road below.
I'm running Red Hat 9 on one machine, along with the MySQL-3.23.54a which came on the installation CDs.
I want to upgrade the MySQL-3 to MySAL-4+, in order to have the increased functionality (especially sub-queries) which was introduced in version 4.
My browsings on the web have not revealed an upgrade route which looks authoritative, though I have seen a few people recommend procedures, though not in detail, and I have not seen confirmations that these have worked. I really do want to avoid breaking things on that machine!
MySQL is currently at version 5, but older versions (specifically 4.1.22) are available in various formats (binary and source) at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html
If anyone has successfully made this upgrade, I would be most grateful to learn, in detail, how they did it!
With thanks, Ted.
PS I'm not open to suggestions to upgrade the Linux installation. That machine is something of an "attic", and renewing its joists is not compatible with not disturbing what's stacked on them!
