Re: How to upgrade to 5.0.13-rc

You must follow a sequence in order to avoid problems, there's no way
to jump from 3 to 5, in fact, you should (at least the manual say so)
upgrade to 4, then 4.1 (major changes and scripts to fix database) and
then to 5. Keep in mind that version 5 is NOT stable, it is for
testing features, kinda beta, and 4.1 is still the recommended version
for production systems.

The essential package is an MSI installer that provides you a wizard
to configure MySQL (IMHO it shouldn't exist, makes people think that
they don't need any knowledge in order to use a database server) and
all you need to run the server, along with the client to access it,
the other package comes with all, source, libraries, everything needed
for developers, and you have this zipped version that comes with no
wizard, the program itself and all the stuff, so you can unzip it,
configure it (by hand) and use (thanks to the AB Team for keeping this
one alive).

Good luck,

Re: How to upgrade to 5.0.13-rc

What's accomplished by going through all the upgrade gyrations to go from
v3 to v5? Is it to migrate the data itself? There's no way that you can
do a database dump, uninstall v3, install v5, and then load the v3 dump?

Are you saying the release candidate of v5 isn't stable? Is this from
experience or just a disclaimer?

Re: How to upgrade to 5.0.13-rc

Ok, i know version 5 is not stable i want to upgrade
is because i want to test the stored procedure
features.
DO you know when MySQL AB will release the stable
version?
How unstable this version 5 is?

I wonder, can i use 2 version (v.3 and 5) in 1
computer?

Regards
Edwin

As soon as it is tested enough... Most bugs are still comming, its a
richly featured app and many are new features only available recently,
like views and stored procedures, so, I guess it will be some time
till version 5 is considered stable.

> How unstable this version 5 is?

Well, guess no one can tell you that, I know of people using it in
production systems with no problems at all, but if you take a look at
the bug reports, there are still some to be solved as new subversions
come.

Yes, you can, as long as you keep the config files separated and they
use different ports, names for the services and directories. I once
was running two test versions and a production server on winxp pro
with an athlon xp 2.0, versions were 3.23, 4 and 4.1.11.
