[WBEL-users] MySQL 4.0

[Karanbir Singh]

hey!

Unless you have absolutely no data setup / running with MySQL 3, you 
might get away with a forced upgrade, otherwise your database is going 
to break. ( and security issues are goign to get shot to hell ).

take a look : http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html

best bet, for a new install - remove the previous Mysql from your system 
and do a fresh rpm -i  for MySQL 4.
