Don’t, just don’t
/sigh
So I really really didn’t want to give up on this, but frankly after killing most of my weekend trying to hammer out the MySQL versioning issues and getting more or less nowhere I think I am going to just give up.
One option would be to just use another database for my backend, but considering the systems I normally work on are backed by DB2 and Oracle databases… I can’t bring myself to shift to an option even less substantial than MySQL
The other obvious option is to just migrate this site to another hosting company. A proposition that is looking more attractive by the day, but still gives me headaches thinking about the potential disasters along the way. Just tweaking some settings last weekend wiped out a post here, and I can imagine loosing all images, comments or some other substantial chunk of the site.
Readers of this blog will be among the first to know if and when I decide to make some sort of leap I suppose 🙂
