Migrating from MySQL 5.0.41 to 5.1.44

[Bryan O'Neal]

It is possible to do this but is is not as easy as you may think it
will be. You will have to apply the insert query's from the dump one
at a time by hand and see what fails and make corrections. Even then I
would just back it all up and run mysql-upgrade.
