Re: MySQL version 5.5

Joe,
From what I've read on this group it is not possible to delete an
instance and reuse the instance name in a new instance.
Using the method in the article above database updates this would
force us to make changes to our applications to point to the new
instance name.
Is this something we would only have to deal with during the limited
preview or is this something we should expect going forward?
In other words will we need a new instance name for each database
upgrade?
Have the ability to re-use the instance name once the upgrade is
complete would be beneficial .
In some cases I can see a benefit of using two instances for cut-over
periods so we are in control.

Thoughts?
