Theoretically true, but if you ask MySQL.com support they'll tell you
that a dump and restore is advisable. It all depends on which
features you were using. As just one example, if you were relying on
some of the previous auto-update semantics of timestamp columns,
you'll need to alter all the corresponding table definitions manually;
the upgrade process won't do it.

The characters look binary, so this might be a problem of conversion
latin1 -> utf8 or vice versa.

Try dumping with:

mysqldump --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile

And loading the dump with:

mysql --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile

Let us know if that works.

HTH,
Filipe

HTH,




thanks for all the suggestions - in the end i opted for rsyncing the
datafiles for this db and for me this worked fine. Not the 'correct' way
but one that worked OK at the time.


thanks
