    mysql 4 not stable enough??

    I asked my hosting service when they were going to update from 3.23, and was told:
    [color=blue]
    >Unfortunatel y, we are not planning to upgrade to MySQL 4.x in the near future,
    >because, according to our system administrators, it is not stable enough, and
    >it will break most of the existing customers' scripts that are already
    >installed on our servers.[/color]
    [color=blue]
    >Best Regards,
    >Support[/color]

    Is this so?

      Ok, we have a dedicated server, but with 12 sites on it all originally built
      on 3.23. The upgrade went fine. What you might find is that the ISP in this
      case doesnt want to go through the hassle? Though i can understand this for
      the older site(i mean telling the users that its going to be down etc), but
      are then even offering 4.x on newer boxes??

      One thing you can do is goto the update history and find out what functions
      etc has been changed which might affect your/others site?

      Who you hosting with, just out of curiosity
