Oops
Thursday, November 6th, 2008During a conference call I decided now was a good time to convert my MySQL 4 database to version 5 as per the nagging emails I keep getting from my web host (MySQL 4 may be gone as of January 2009).
I did as instructed only to realize that I had already done this and had just overwritten everything here since last July 8th (I had not deleted the version 4 database, hence the email reminders).
A few sweating moments later, I found that my web host actually does DAILY MySQL backups!!! I was able to restore to yesterday (I hadn’t added anything since then) and THEN convert the old version 4 to version 5.
Whew (and thanks, ICDSoft!)
