Upgrade from older version without losing data/config
Hi. I have an older version of Community server, 5.1.51, and also an older version of workbench, 5.2 CE, both running on Win 10 64 bit. I would like to upgrade these to newer versions. I saw recommendations on the mysql site to use mysql installer for this purpose. I'm wondering if (1) it's smart enough to replace the older versions with new ones maintaining configuration and data from them, or (2) will it leave the older ones and install the newer ones, or (3) will it delete the older ones and install the newer ones. 1 would be ideal, 2 would be a pain, and 3 would be a disaster, so I thought I'd better ask.
