mysql version bundled with da is no good

[lkbryant]

hi guys

i just wanted you guys to know the mysql version bundled with da is not good

there is a bug with the orderby clause which disrupts some functions with some php apps

is there anyway we can get the 5.1 installed by default with DA?

also, is there a safe way to upgrade the mysql server from 5.0.x to 5.1.x ?

You can install any mysql version you want. Da does not rely on mysql at all.

We're in the process of looking at 5.1. But as scsi mentioned, you can install any version you want. If you have an rpm based system, just do an "rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm" on the 4 required mysql rpms: server, shared, client, devel. I do not yet know if you need to update tables or things like that.
