I'm current running CF8 with the default MySQL Connector (mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.0.5-bin.jar)... but I'm having some problem after I upgraded to the latest version of MySQL 5.1.39.

I notice the MySQL have a new version of the MySQL Connector (mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.1.10-bin.jar). SHould I update to the latest version?

If so, how can I do the upgrade? I did the download of the file but now sure how to upgrade.

Thank for the help.

It should just be a matter of replacing the earlier version of the JAR file with the new one (take a back-up of the previous one, so you can quickly swap back if there are problems), and restarting CF

Obviously test this in a controlled environment before rolling it out to live.
