[TriLUG] How to Replace mySQL 3.0 on Redhat 9

[David A. Cafaro]

1. Go to MySQL.com and download the rpm's for Redhat 

2. "rpm -e" all the RedHat mysql rpms

3. "rpm -Uvh" all the rpms from mysql.  

That should do it.  You may also be able to just do "rpm -Uvh" on the
new mysql rpms with out even removing the redhat ones.  I've done this
before with no problems.  Just to be safe you may want to tar up the
/var/lib/mysql/ directory as backup so you are absolutely assured of
having your working database even if something goes horribly wrong
(which it shouldn't).
