I have been developing under MySQL v5.0 for a while now and need to upgrade to v5.5 to be in step with the hosted production server.

After having searched for precise steps to do this migration, I am still unclear as to how to go ahead.

Can anyone provide a clear list of actions needed to upgrade to version 5.5 ?

Thank you

Thank you for these answers. You are right, I should have given fuller info in my question. Notably - I am under Windows XP SP3.

Yes I did search through Google beforehand, hence my statement

"After having searched for precise steps to do this migration, I am still unclear as to how to go ahead."

To RolandoMySQLDBA : Thanks for the script, but I cannot see how I could adapt it.

  • I'm with Pekka 웃 BUT, if you must continue, what platform are you on? A "clear list" is always problematic, since the steps vary by use case.

Step 01 : Run this script to Dump Everything from MySQL 5.0

cd /root
MYSQL_CONN="-uroot -p..."
SQLSTMT="SELECT schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE"
SQLSTMT="${SQLSTMT} WHERE schema_name NOT IN"
SQLSTMT="${SQLSTMT} ('information_schema','mysql','performance_schema')"
MYSQL_OPTIONS="--skip-column-names -A"
mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} ${MYSQL_OPTIONS} -e"${SQLSTMT}" > /tmp/dblist.txt
DB_OPTIONS="--databases"
for DB in `cat /tmp/dblist.txt` ; do DB_OPTIONS="${DB_OPTIONS} ${DB}"
MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS="--routines --triggers ${DB_OPTIONS}"
mysqldump ${MYSQL_CONN} ${MYSQLDUMP_OPTIONS} > MySQLData.sql
SQLSTMT="SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''',user,'''"
SQLSTMT="${SQLSTMT}@''',host,''';') FROM mysql.user WHERE user<>''"
mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} ${MYSQL_OPTIONS} -e"${SQLSTMT}" > GetGrants.sql
mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} ${MYSQL_OPTIONS} < /root/GetGrants.sql | sed 's/$/;/g' > Grants.sql
rm -f GetGrants.sql

Step 02 : Backup config file

cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.50

Step 03 : Backup /var/lib/mysql

mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql50

Step 04 : Uninstall MySQL 5.0

Step 05 : Install MySQL 5.5

Step 06 : service mysql start

Step 07 : Login to mysql

mysql -uroot

Step 08 : At the mysql prompt enter the following:

mysql> source /root/Grants.sql
mysql> source /root/MySQLData.sql

That's it.

Give it a Try !!!

I have suggested this before : MySQL upgrade 5.0.88 to latest
