mysql 5.6 question

Whereas I have a bunch o different sites and versions....

Will upgrading mysql cause me a major headace for sites with versions that range from 1.5 to 1.54?

I've been holding off for 2.0, to answer your question.

Thanks

Re: mysql 5.6 question

Per https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?48-what-are-the-server-requirements-to-run-zen-cart, v151-to-v154 were tested with MySQL 5.5

I think the only potentially-troublesome change with MySQL 5.6 would be for MySQL 5.6.6+ where zero-dates ('0000-00-00') are disallowed in the default configuration (which is enforced more aggressively in MySQL 5.7).
There aren't many places in v154 where zero-dates are used, but you'd need to accommodate for that, or just use v155 which already accommodates it.

but it is beta as far as I know
Yes, Zen Cart v1.5.5 is still a work-in-progress, but the link you posted is one that should be subscribed to so that you're kept informed of that progress!
