In general lots of things could go wrong. PHP script is a good example. |

If you use older versions of complex PHP-apps, upgrading mysql might not |
| 12 |
be a very good idear. One of the things that might go wrong is the |
| 13 |
charset-stuff. In MySQL 3-4.0 the char set on the server as one. In the |
| 14 |
newer versions it is on table basis. This for example breaks older |
| 15 |
versions of TYPO3. |

And remember to follow the upgrade guide. Not doing so will b0rk your |
| 18 |
server. |

If you can afford it, the safest approach IMO is to have an extra server |
| 21 |
with the old MySQL-version on, that you keep alive, and then move your |
| 22 |
databases one at a time. |
