I started using v7 and didn't realize that my existing server only had MySQL 3.2 so I am going to be upgrading very soon. Should I expect any difficulty with the way that MySQL4 or 5 will handle my older database file?

Thanks for any help.

The password hash is the only thing that comes to mind for me.

The newer versions store it differently.

Agreed, the only large difficulty is the change in password hashing as of 4.1 (which effect logging in); other than that its mainly fixes/additions.
