Hello, I need to upgrade MySQL form 5.5 to 5.6. I see that it is a process of 7 steps. Is it hard to make upgrade via cPanel interface, do I need to prepare something and does websites that are fully functional under MySQL 5.5 will work with MySQL 5.6. Do I need to update something else before MySQL Upgrade? Is there some official tutorial or video that shows those 7 steps. Many, many, thanks to all in advance! I do please for help! :) We use the latest cPanel version. Best regards!

MySQL offers an upgrade document that lists the changes at:
