need to upgrade mysql
 

i just bought 40gb bandwidth and 1gb webspace from ontimehosting.com

but i need to convert my old atebase to theirs.. problem is my other datebase is mysql version 4.0.24 - standard.. and the new datebase is version 4.1.11-standard
..

i contacted ontimehosting to see if they would upgrade.... or is tehre another way?

What do you mean ? theres no problem, just restore the database, it should work fine.

i have 2 servers... the server im using just now is an older version of mysql... i just bought a new server from and that one is using a newer version of mysql.

And? they are compatabile, just restore the backup.

Zachery, The newer database has collations.... How do I get around that??? I'm afraid just restoring the database is not an option...

I have manually removed every instance of collate latin1_bin default NULL ......


I am sure it can be done but I just think using the same version would be easiest.... :)

I think I got it. I had to change the dump options... I will let you know how it works. I have read about many people having this same problem...

Thanks
