I'm planning to move from RT 3.4.2 on one machine to 3.4.5 on a different 
machine with a different OS.  I understand that there were no db changes 
from 3.4.2 to 3.4.5, so I was hoping I could dump the mysql db on the 
first system, restore it on the new machine and just point to it.

Now, this thread has me wondering about the whole issue of mysql dumps. 
Do I need to use the 'default binary' option also, not only when I do my 
conversion, but even on my current nightly db backups?  First of all, is 
it necessary, and secondly, is there a downside to using that option?

Thanks.

Mike
