Perhaps I should mention, although it doesn’t seem relevant, that I got this report from the database upgrade by WP:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key 1]
INSERT INTO wp_terms (term_id, name, slug, term_group) VALUES (1, ‘Main’, ‘main’, 0)

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1-category’ for key 2]
INSERT INTO wp_term_taxonomy (term_id, taxonomy, description, parent, count) VALUES ( 1, ‘category’, ”, 0, 51)
Update Complete

Your WordPress database has been successfully updated!

Uh, oh. I ran into a snag. I replaced the files as instructed, but when I went to wp-admin, I got this error:

You cannot update because WordPress 3.1.1 requires MySQL version 4.1.2 or higher. You are running version 3.23.58.

I filed a ticket with the hosting company, and they are moving the account to a server with MySQL 5. However, they don’t guarantee the successful movement of the WP database due to the difference in platforms.

Can you point me to some help in restoring a backed up WP 2.0 database to a WP 3.1.1 installation?

Thanks, that’s very encouraging.

Do you really think I should make a backup? ??

Where’s the delete function for useless posts? I discovered that a new WYSIWYG plugin was conflicting with tinyMCE. After I disabled the latter in User Options, all was OK.
