Use MySQL RPM Package for Redhat instead of Generic one?

[nmb]

Can I use MySQL RPM Package for Redhat instead of Generic one? What I would like to do is to install the same version of MySQL (5.1.50 64 bits) but using different RPM package.

Original, DA installs :
MySQL-client-5.1.50-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-devel-5.1.50-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-server-5.1.50-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-5.1.50-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm

Can I use (My Server is CentOS) :
MySQL-server-community-5.1.50-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-client-community-5.1.50-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-devel-community-5.1.50-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-community-5.1.50-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

If so, can I just follow the follow this knowledgebase -> http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=137

Will that make it difficult to upgrade later?


Thank you,

You should use the knowledgebase item. DA will install/update MySQL.
Also it should be noet possible to install/update MySQL with yum since it should be excluded in the yum.conf.

Actually, I don't plan to use Yum install at all. I will use RPM command to install those RPM packages for Redhat.

One thing though, it looks like DA used to use those Redhat packages before they have changed their mind. Check at http://files.directadmin.com/services/all/mysql/64-bit/ You will see that there are Redhat Packages there till version 5.0.67 and version 5.1.30. I really would like to know why but well, I think what I can do now is to try it by myself since no one really answer me about this question

Thanks Jeff. The reason I ask here is that this can be benefit to anyone who may need to know the same thing. Anyway, I already tried that and it works great.

Before that, I always got an e-mail about server load went beyond 10 and MySQL used to be on top of the list. With InnoDB Plugin, That was the past.So, to everyone that may plan to use InnoDB, don't use buildin InnoDB, just go for InnoDB Plugin

Oh... I forgot to say. The reason I want to use MySQL Redhat package is that... InnoDB Plugin comes with Redhat package but not with Generic Linux package. Also, in the future version of MySQL (5.5), "InnoDB Plugin" will come as a default. So, why continue using build-in InnoDB in MySQL 5.1? And if you want to look for InnoDB Plugin (ha_innodb_plugin.so). It's in "/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin".
