We plan to upgrade our MySQL to 5.0 , maybe 5.1 if it is stable enough by the time we actually do it.
The manual says not to skip versions, but that sounds like lots of work.
The tables we have are very simple, and with a quick glance at incompatible changes, it seems that we probably won't be affected by any of those incompatible tables. OK, timestamp fields requires dump-and-reload, but that's something we plan to do anyway.
Has anyone attempted skipping versions?
Besides carefully reading incompatibile changes chapters in all applicable manuals, are there any other things we need to pay close attention to?
