I am needing to upgrade MYSQL on Ubuntu, it is a production server and naturally cautious.

My many googles look to be essentially saying that I need to :

1) Backup my current mysql database and tables/data

2) Uninstall current mysql

3) Install new MYSQL 5+

4) Restore Databases/ tables and data

5) Hope and Pray I got it right ??

Something doesn't seem right, sounds like a lot of down time and risk

Am I missing something / or any simple solutions?

Upgrading from mSQL 4 to 5 on Ubuntu 10

Many Thanks,

Rob
