[Forum] MySQL Version For VB4 Suite?

[cdr740]

Hello,

I have a VPS and have just updated a few things to the latest versions. The VPS now has the latest versions -Apache v2.2.15 and PHP 5.3.2

My VPS also has the option of updating MySQL to the latest version 5.1.45. I am currently running MySQL version 5.0.89.

Please can someone let me know if it is safe to upgrade to 5.1.45 or am I likely to hit problems and possibly have a non functioning forum and CMS?


Thanks for your help
Dan

When it comes to MySQL, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

5.1.45 is running fine as far as we can tell... it was just released recently, so not a whole lot of time under the hood just yet.

Before you do anything, backup your database.

I agree. I wondered if a newer version would provide better security and speed over an older version.

Thank you for your reply. As I said above, I am interested to know if a newer MySQL version will offer any benefit over a older version.

We are using MySQL 5.1.45.

I believe MySQL 5.1's multi-core processor support is much better.
