OK, we've got an application that we would like to run on our site and it requires MySQL 4.1. A couple of the guys here have been tasked with looking at issues surrounding this and how to do it (they didn't know which version we were currently running so we figured they needed some learnin').
So I'm interested if anyone here has made the jump and if so, what if any issues you have encountered regarding anything to do with the upgrade and subsequent running of the database server. There's not much on the web on this (that I could find) so actual accounts of the experience would be great.
Thanks,
Mac

well, 4.1 is still in alpha. if i was gonna put anything into production, i'd maybe stick with 3.23 or 4.0. i mean, don't get me wrong there has not been any problems with the alpha, but again this is just alpha heh. wait til they release production, then i would feel more confident putting a company's server on it
