Re: [phpGroupWare-developers] Upgrading MySQL phpgroupware

[Chris Weiss]

well, you'll need to figure out how to make mysql recognize them, I've
done it before but I don't rememebr what the trick was.  someone on
this list might know, but your best bet is to ask mysql people.
quickest might be irc://chat.freenode.net/#mysql

btw, a better way to backup mysql might be with mysqldump.
