I used the mysql binary tarballs to install both mysqld and the ndbds.
How can I upgrade to a new version of them?
The manual says that I should just upgrade to the newest binary. But
what about all the other files in
all the subdirs (bin, docs, lib, scripts, tests, configure, man, share,
include, mysql-test, sql-bench, support-files)?
The good thing is that I declared as my data dir a seperate directory.
Can I just untar the newer version on top of this one?
The ndb* binaries don't have any direct dependencies, so a simple
replacement of these is sufficient for those. On a machine hosting a
data node, you don't need anything except ndbd. On a machine running the
management server, you don't need anything other than ndb_mgmd -
however, you'll probably want to put ndb_mgm and the other ndb*
programmes on this machine as well. On a machine running an SQL node,
it's generally a good idea to replace everything except the data
directory, and to run mysql_upgrade afterwards to catch any possible
changes in the system tables.
