Hi 

I am having a very small database  (it will grow) running on Solaris
2.8 with Apache server and perl.

current mysql version is mysql-3.23.40-sun-solaris2.7-sparc .

I want to upgrade to mysql-max-3.23.44-sun-solaris2.8-sparc to have
BDB/Innodb Support in the initial stages itslef and I think it is well
deserved to do so.

will the upgrade work if I do like this?

1. move my current mysql directory as a backup 
2.untar the binary and follow instructions on INSTALL-BINARY file
(creating groups/usersare alreayd donw during last version setup)and
move back the database files back to new version's data directory.

If somebody can highlight what I am missing here, that would be of
great help to me.

Thanks
