Downgrading MySQL

I have the latest version of Xamp because I need PHP 4.3.10. But I don't like MySQL 4.1.8. Can I downgrade MySQL to 4.0? If yes, how do I do that?

Thanks very much.

Hi there,

I think I have the same problem.
I can't manage to import my MySQL dumps from my localhost to my server, because my server MySQL version doesn't support the new collation feature of MySQL.

Using Xampp 1.4.11 for Windows, as a solution I figured I could downgrade the MySQL and the MyAdmin packages to a lower version without the collation feature (I do need PHP 4.3.10 for security reasons).

Unfortunately it appeared to be quite difficult to perform this. My knowledge doesn't really measure up to this stuff.

Anyone know a way to get this thing going or just how to make my MySQL dumps with collation information compatible to my online database that doesn't support the collation feature?

Any help would be appreciated!

You should make your local dumps with "mysqldump.exe" and not with phpMyAdmin.

I tried this but same problem...

I could install WAMPP version 2.1 or 1.1 which use the older version of MySQL but I also would rather not use the older versions of PHP...

I am very new to this and not confident about installing and configuring Apache, PHP and MySQL separately...

Does anyone know another solution? (eg how to 'downgrade' MySQL?)

I overlooked it at first, but when exporting your database in phpmyadmin, you can choose compatibility with older mysql version.
