    can you upgrade mySQL version yourself? usually not... it depends on what permissions the host gives you....

    I would first as the host to upgrade mySQL, they might ask you to switch to a newer server in their rack, they may be able to migrate your account themselves, or you may have to download everything and upload it again, possibly a huge pain....

    ... if they balk when you ask, or don't know what you're asking for...switch hosts.

    Most hosts upgrade this sort of thing for you semi-automatically.... and being able to run a current wordpress version is something most hosts are expected to do now...

    • thanks. i ended up using indexhibit for this one, but still want to get this sorted.johnny_wobble
