Upgrading .4 to .5 w/ 3rd party plugins

ribbles · May 19th 2014

The sticky at top of this page says not to upgrade if I have 3rd party plugins installed. Well I have mysql plugin installed and I am afraid that if i uninstall the plugin it will also uninstall mysql and remove all my databases, much like uninstalling the git plugin just uninstalled git from my system. not happy. Am I correct in my assumption, incorrect in my assuption, or is it now safe to upgrade with the mysql plugin installed? Thanks.

You can use this upgrade cleaning script from solo:

Yes, it removes all plugins and the corresponding software. No, it does not remove your database. So after the upgrade, you can install the mysql plugin and use your "old" databases.
