    Hi,

    I just installed new WHM/cPanel on my server and found that by default it has MySQL version 5.0. However, I need MySQL version 4.0. So what will happen to my existing databases if I downgrade the version to 4.0 from 5.0?

    Mysql 5 is backwards compatible so anything that "needs" mysql 4 should work in mysql 5 as well. The latest mysql release is much faster in comparison as well.
