MySQL upgrade from v4 to v5
01/01/2009 12:03
This is announcement contains information that is critical to all customers using mysql database services.
On January 18, 2009 we will be upgrading MySQL to the latest stable version which is currently at stable version 5.0.X which was previously scheduled. The maintenance will begin at 10:00 PM (GMT) and downtime will be approximately one hour per server as Apache needs recompiled. In reality server downtime should be minimal but we allow an hour to be on the safe side.
MySQL v5.0 (BETA) was released in March of 2005 and the production version was released in October of 2005. Up until now we have put off the upgrade (for what will be nearly 3 years) as a courtesy to our loyal customers. When MySQL v5 was originally released, many popular scripts/applications were not compatible with the new version of the software. That being said, it is now time to push the upgrade so that customers may enjoy the many benefits that MySQL v5 brings to the table.
Clients that have custom programmed scripts in use should either contact the developer to ensure compatibility and/or reference the following website page which contains important information in regards to compatibility issues.
Please ensure that any scripts installed via Fantastico have been upgraded to the appropriate version to support MySQL v5, otherwise these scripts will fail to work after the update.

We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by this maintenance.
Please open a support ticket if you have any queries.
