Hi,

I asked this about PHP, now time to ask a similar question about MySQL; Is it worth upgrading from 4.1 to 5.0?

I'm interested in trying out some triggers in the database for another application on the machine, but also interested in the replication for the sugarcrm database.

Is it safe to install mysql5 - does it update the databases automatically? ( Obviously taking a backup and shut the webserver down first )

Rgds,
Dan
