import users from old mysql db?

We're in the middle of upgrading from MySQL 3.23 to MySQL4.1.

I'm trying to import all of the info in the mysql database (ya know the
db that keeps track of all the users and what they can and cannot do).
I tried just a standard mysqldump from the old box. Copy the file over
to the new box. And do a mysql -uroot -p < /tmp/mysqldb.sql. Lo and
behold it doesn't work. Looks like there are more columns in some of
the tables.

Is there a quick and easy way to do this import?

Thanks in advance.

We're in the middle of upgrading from MySQL 3.23 to MySQL4.1.
Note that the default password encoding in these two versions is
incompatible. None of your users' passwords will be recognized, unless you
start mysqld using the --old-passwords option.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/...d-hashing.html for more
information.

Did you run mysql_fix_privi lege_tables after the restore?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/...ge-tables.html

Also you should review these pages to see if there's anything else that
applies to your upgrade:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/...from-3-23.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/...-from-4-0.html

Hi, Maybe this is an easy task, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to do this. I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server. I have a database dump file from MySQL that's in .sql format.

Hi, We a have a small office network of 3 users.

Hi I need to read in a large set of text files (9GB+ each) into a database table based on fixed width lengths. There are several ways to complete this, but I am wondering if anyone has insight into the FASTEST way to read in the data and chop it up ahead of posting it into the DB. So far, things work, but they are far slower than expected.

Folks: We have a web-based app that's _really_ slowing down because multiple clients are writing their own private data into a single, central database. I guess the previous programmer did things this way because it made things easy. Well, I'm the person that has to put up with the long-term headache. Anywho, someone at work wants things sped up, so what I'm looking at doing is this for each client:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
