[CentOS] [OT?] diffs between mysql 5.0 and 5.1, and upgrading to mysql 5.1?
being used to mysql 5.1 on my fedora system, i'm suddenly looking
after a centos 5.4 box with mysql 5.0.77. before i start digging into
the mysql 5.0-5.1 changelog, do i have a lot to worry about in terms
of mentally backing up one version? or is simply upgrading the centos
box to mysql 5.1 an option? (i realize that mysql 5.1 is *not*
officially supported in centos 5.4.)

I'm running it (and php5.3.1) on one machine as a side effect of getting the ocsinventory server there. I'm not running much else that isn't perl or java on that machine so I don't know if it can cause other problems. http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I use the mysql 5.1 from the remy repo. I don't have it in heavy production, though. Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
