Problem with MySQL versions
 

Hi, my vBulletin hosted in Godaddy is using the version 4.0.22 of MySQL and my new hosting uses the version 4.1.20. That do impossible to restore my .sql dump and the only way to do that is to run a command* in SSH but i havent access and Godaddy dont want to do it :( How can i restore my db?

After very much e-mails with the support of the new hosting, they didnt give me any solution and i am thinkin in obtain a new hosting to only upload the database, is a good solution?

If someone knows what can i do, i will be very glad :)


Very much thanks!

*The command is a mysql dump in compatibility mode, i cant do it via phpmyadmin:

Well if a host isnt bothered about you or your needs i would say move

As in another post

Myself is hosted by Distance without a problem

so pm him hes always around and very helpful :)

Actually, you do not have to use SSH to make a backup of your database and move it to another server. phpMyAdmin do the job correctly by "Exporting the whole thing".... even if your versions are not the same... MySQL is not changed that much between versions.

you can request someone to do the job if you are so insecure btw...

you can also use "mysqldumper" and it will backup and restore the database across different versions of MySQL.
