[support] updating mysql with Drupal 6

[David Halik]

Hi, just a quick question. I've been running Drupal 6 on Centos 5 with 
mysql 5.0.22 for awhile now, and I'd like to update to the latest 
version 5.0.45.

Is it safe to update the mysql package with an active Drupal database, 
or do I need to dump it, start fresh, and reload the database.

Just curious if anyone has tried this and what the consequences might 
be. I'm thinking I can just bump the version since it's just a minor 
revision.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
