Data loss when upgrading MySQL?
Apparently FC3 came with a fairly old version of MySQL and I need to upgrade to a version with better subquery support before I can continue what I am working on. But if I upgrade MySQL by installing the latest RPM package, will I lose my old data? Or will the new MySQL software "automatically" find the old files and let me use them? I believe the version that is installed right now is 3.23.58. Will the file format for 3.x be different enough that 5.1 wouldn't be able to read 3.x files?
