Re: New server, switch to MariaDB, different versions

 

Hi,

Hello,

My current (8 yr old bare metal) server is currently running mysql
5.1.62, with just a couple of very small databases:

postfixadmin
and
roundcube

I am setting up a shiny new virtualized (ESXi host) server, that now has
MariaDB 5.5.30 on it...

My question is, can I do a dump from my old server running mysql 5.1.62,
then restore that dump to my new server running MariaDB 5.5.30, run
mysql_upgrade, and have any kind of reasonable expectation of it working?

Yes, it would be a very reasonable expectation. It's supposed to work.

I'd rather not update the current (production) server to MariaDB (I'm
gunshy when it comes to major changes on a production system).

If not, then my other option would be to downgrade MariaDB on  the new
server to 5.1.66... but again, I'd rather not do that if it isn't
necessary.

Thanks - I'm really looking forward to saying goodbye to mysql (for
political reasons, the software itself has served me well these 8 years,
it's just too bad that they got bought by Oracle)...

Charles
