17 +Title: MythTV 0.22 Upgrade Database Corruption
18 +Author: Richard Freeman <rich0@g.o>

24 +
25 +Due to an incompatibility between MythTV 0.21 and the default Gentoo
26 +MySQL configuration, it is likely that long-time MythTV users will
27 +have databases with a mixture of locale encodings. If you upgrade to
28 +0.22 without following these directions carefully, you could end up
29 +with a database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to
30 +fix.
31 +
32 +Note that not all mythtv users need to modify their databases, and
33 +this should only be performed at the time of the upgrade. The guide
34 +below contains instructions that can be used to determine if this
35 +problem pertains to you.
36 +
37 +Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions:
38 +
39 + http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding
40 +
41 +Be sure to save a database backup using mysqldump before upgrading.
42 +Also, be sure to upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to
43 +0.22 at the same time. The upgrade instructions need to be followed
44 +once per database - individual client/backend upgrades do not require
45 +these steps.
46 +
47 +If you do run into problems with your upgrade, there is a forum thread
48 +where you may be able to find help:
