MSQL upgrade on Ubuntu - any heads ups?
- by Rob Sedge
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
