Hello I am new to DP and have a question. I am changing hosts and have to migrate mysql to new host. The new mysql is 4.0 and the old one is 3.23. Will this be a problem? thx
Depends on your queries and your structures. Going up is easiert han going down so it should be OK. Give it a test in a beta environment first.
thx for the quick reply. site is directory script, not sure if that makes a difference? I am still in the process of learning mysql.
Just try it, there is no other way. I had migrated directory scripts, encountered problems once or twice, mostly it was solved by just changing some little details in the database dump.
Basically the problem you will face is trying to dump your data via phpMyAdmin with all its new annoyances. Otherwise must not be a problem at all
if the mysql where you want to move your database is higher than the old one, you will not receive any errors.
