[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1042235, member: 82144"] I've really got nothing additional to say except that I won't personally be investing any time to do that. For me the cost/benefit trade-off is not even close. The people who have advocated for this upgrade are looking at [B]potential [/B]performance and reliability benefits. I say potential because as far as I know those benefits have not been tested or quantified. There is an element of "newer is better" thinking. My own opinion is that the upgrade is not going to give much performance improvement (in fact, performance could theoretically drop since InnoDB is transactional => more overheads), and the stability is mainly beneficial for those who for whatever reason have problems with database crashes. I don't know about you but I've never had a database crash and I'm satisfied with performance. In other words I don't see a problem with continuing to use MySQL 5.1. So, I will be choosing to spend my time working on TVE 3.5 (which incidentally will probably require a clean install anyway). [/QUOTE]
