MySQL upgrade 4.0.27 to 4.1 or 5.0 to avoid charset issues?
A client who is using MySQL v. 4.0.27 asked me to upgrade it and pay particular attention to charsets.
Charset in all tables is latin1 and i was wondering if the upgrade would cause any problems with special characters (his website is in italian).
Will the upgrade through WHM create the right charsets/collations or will it try to convert everything to utf-8?
Should i first upgrade to 4.1 or is it safe to move to 5.0/ 5.1 ?
Thanks
