MySQL 5 fully backwards compatible??

grace · 07-04-2006

Hello everybody

I guess the subject title pretty much sums it up. I`ve had some problems getting MySQL 5 to work with an application I`ve written using MySQL 4.1 and Visual Basic 6. I haven`t changed anything in my application so I expected it pretty much to work!!

Any ideas??
Thanks
Grace

no, it is not fully backwards compatible, some sintax changes.

There r few functions such as float value which are not available latest MYSQL version. MYSQL discourages usage of such functions since long and finally it dumped them.
That might b causing u the problem.
I hope it helps !:)

There is a setting that I used if you set Enable Strict mode to false it will work more like MySQL 4

If you followed standards, then it will probably be better. However, there are changes, so it isn't completely compatible.
