Issue with the database.

I have never worked in mysql before, looks like a light weight to me when I compare it Oracle, Sybase. Anyways let me get in to the problem I faced and how I resolved it...

After ugrading my Solaris machine, I found that Iam not able to connect to a remote database. Then I identified that mysql client version is very old. Upgraded to latest mysql client

$ mysql -ubugs -pbugs -h xxxxxxxx -P 3382Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.Your MySQL connection id is 4026 to server version: 4.1.14-max-log
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>

Iam able to connect now.
