MySQL Server?

[alteredillusionz]

Since it seems the only version installed on hosting accounts is MySQL version 4.1.22-standard-log
I was wondering if there are plans to update to a newer version antime soon?
I do have scripts that will not function on the older version.
Also the current version is rather old.
Looking forward to any answers to this.


(p.s.) Sorry i originally posted in the wrong section.

We will update to other versions of MySQL 4, but we have no plans to use MySQL 5 anytime soon.

Any idea when updates will happen?

MySQL Db Server___GA Date___Active Support Ends___Extended Support Ends
3.23_____________2001-01-17____2006-07-31__________2006-12-31
4.0______________2003-03-15____2006-09-30__________2008-12-31
4.1______________2004-10-23____2006-12-31__________2009-12-31
5.0______________2005-10-24____2008-12-31__________2011-12-31

From the chart I just pulled from their site, it seems 4.x is already obsolete and 5.0 has about a year left. 5.1 is in RC and 6.0 is out and in Alpha.

Most the scripts I run are compatible with 4.1 but recommended for 5.0 with an emphasis on upgrading to 5.0 for future updates.
