Incompatibilites when upgrading to MySQL 4.1
Cross posting this nice article from Mike Kruckenberg into my PHP section, since it has some great things to keep in mind.
I recently went through this on a platform I was maintaining. The thing that bit me in the ass was some very silly ways previous programmers were parsing timestamp fields. Lesson: do it the right way the first time. The MySQL date/time functions are able to do whatever you need done, there is no need to do date parsing in PHP.
The other issues are mostly minor, and if you do need to change them are relatively easy todo with a global search and replace, or configuration option. Those hours of digging through code looking for timestamp parsing code taught me to RESPECT THE TIMESTAMP!
