[rhn-users] mySQL version with RHN

[Clinton Fernandes]

I remember someone else asking this question some months ago. You may
want to check the archives as I think there was an "official" response
in it.

I can't remember exactly what was said but I don't think that RH
supports MySQL 5.x

You could always download the MySQL version that you want and install
that instead. I did that and had almost no problems. I think all that
I had to do was rename/re-link some library files.

Of course, by doing so you don't receive the bug fixes, etc. that RH
puts out for a package and you must manually keep track of updates.
But version 5.x provides some significant upgrades, so it was worth it
in my case.
