This dump can be properly restored into MySQL 4 or 5 (depending on features used) rather than having to totally rebuild MySQL to accommodate the flat file restore. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html 2) MySQL 6.0 is in development with 5.1 in RC, 4.1 is likely going to be phased out very soon so rolling back is going to be a very short term solution. There's probably a better solution to the issue you are having than rolling back to 4.1 A couple of notes:
