Hi all, I'm sure this must be covered already, but google knows nothing of it! How does one portupgrade mysql-server without having to dump it's databases first? If you're running a busy server with hundreds of megs of databases I'm sure the admin wouldn't want to dump, uninstall, install newest, then restore the databases, particularly if like me he's merely putting a security fixed release in. I might understand it if there was db file structure changes or other serious risks, but for a minor version upgrade?
