mysql 5.0.23 vs 5.5 performance benefits and upgrade issues?
- by WarDoGG
I have been told that mysql 5.5 has a significant performance boost compared to 5.0
Our server handles a lot of data (around 30 million records processed per 5-10 seconds) and requires every drop of performance boost we can give. Will it be beneficial if we upgrade from 5.0.23 to mysql 5.5?
Also, we have lots of database indexes setup on the tables and I've been told that sometimes the indexes become corrupt after a version upgrade and they have to be rebuilt. Is this true?
