I like to keep my fbsd-6.1 server modern. So when I read about new defaults for OpenLDAP (2.3) and linux_base I changed them. But I have a little hesitation on My SQL. I run a few databases with version 4 (for blogging software, coppermine and textpattern) and would not want to loose those dbases! MySQL is now the default. OK. But what happens if I run the command "portupgrade -rfo databases/mysql50-client mysql-client" Nothing's is said about database compatibilities. Q: is it needed to change (advantages?) Q: is it safe to change? ;-) Q: how do I use my existing databases after the upgrade? Thanks for the help / advice. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.1 ++ The Power to Serve
