Saturday Downtime - MySQL Maintenance
On Saturday October 17, 2009 at 1:00pm EST our hosting provider will be migrating all MySQL databases to a new server. This will cause a brief downtime for our website, but it shouldn't last too long. The window for this maintenance is 2 hours. During this time there will be periods of intermittent connectivity errors to MySQL. So, if you start getting errors on Saturday, this is why!The new server is to alleviate recent issues caused by high load on the current server as well as to upgrade to MySQL version 5.1.
The procedure we will use to migrate will ensure the least amount of downtime per database.
