1 Hi!
2
3 I notice you are one of authors for Gentoo's MySQL upgrade guide
4 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml
5 and I've few questions about it.
6
7 # MYSQL --execute="FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;"
8 ...
9 # MYSQL --execute="UNLOCK TABLES;"
10
11 AFAIK MySQL drop any locks when connection closes, so you probably need to
12 open MySQL client in another console and run FLUSH TABLES/UNLOCK TABLES
13 there while executing tar in first console between these commands.
14
15 # mysql_upgrade_shell --user=root --password='your_password' \
16 --protocol=tcp --datadir="${DATADIR}"
17
18 In original MySQL upgrade documentation they recommend to run mysql_upgrade
19 program and there is nothing about mysql_upgrade_shell script.
20 AFAIK mysql_upgrade_shell is older version of this program (mysql_upgrade
21 program was added because there no bash to execute mysql_upgrade_shell
22 script on Win32).
23 So, what's better to run - mysql_upgrade_shell or mysql_upgrade? Or there
24 no difference between them now?
