Technical questions about upgrading
Posted: Wed 14 May 2008 02:07
I'm considering upgrading from 3.55 to 4.0 in the very near future, and have a couple of quick questions.
I have several small projects in 3.55, what is involved in updating my code for 4.0? Most of the MySql-specfic code is hidden behind a common db interface, ie:
But there are still several places where I'm using MyDirect features. So, just wondering how much of that I'll have to review/re-code.
Second, can I run 3.55 and 4.0 side by side on the same development and user machines? If upgrading is trivial, this might not be an issue, but I may not have time to convert all my projects immediately, so I'd like to keep 3.55 around in case there are any problems.
Thanks,

public static DbConnection Connection
