It turns out, that everyone attending thought that it was a migration from 3.23 or 4 or 4.1 to MySQL 5. My understanding of this was that we&#8217;d actually prefer folk to come in from $database and figure they&#8217;d want to migrate to MySQL.<\/p>\n<p>And fair enough, the only experience I&#8217;ve had over time was migrating from Postgresql right to MySQL. But the idea of a BoF is to let everyone talk, share experiences, and so on. So a few resources we discussed, and I think were generally useful (and hopefully now, there will be more 5.0 users):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/refman\/5.0\/en\/upgrading-from-4-1.html\">Upgrading from MySQL 4.1 to 5.0<\/a> &#8211; from our great manual. Read it and take a gander to see if you&#8217;ll get affected.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/refman\/4.1\/en\/upgrading-from-3-23.html\">Upgrading from MySQL 3.23 to 4.0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/refman\/4.1\/en\/upgrading-from-4-0.html\">Upgrading from MySQL 4.0 to 4.1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MySQL has always recommended incremental upgrades. And its always a good idea to <strong><em>backup<\/em><\/strong> your data before doing an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>What I did want to discuss was the cool MySQL <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysql.com\/products\/tools\/migration-toolkit\/\">Migration Toolkit<\/a>. It also has an <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/migration-toolkit\/en\/index.html\">excellent manual entry<\/a>. But it seems that no one has really used it before, and I had to run away for another item&#8230; aka, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bytebot.net\/blog\/archives\/2006\/04\/27\/its-nearly-mothers-day-what-a-gift\">Quiz Show<\/a>.
