I recently upgraded to mysql 4.1 using arts rpm's however one of my clients was using non standard characters in his table names. The database is now unreadable.
This is a known issue according to mysql.com I just didn't know about it until after I did the upgrade.
"Important note: MySQL 4.1 stores table names and column names in utf8. If you have table names or column names that use characters outside of the standard 7-bit US-ASCII range, you may have to do a mysqldump of your tables in MySQL 4.0 and restore them after upgrading to MySQL 4.1. The symptom for this problem is that you get a table not found error when trying to access your tables. In this case, you should be able to downgrade back to MySQL 4.0 and access your data."
I have a PSAdump file created before the upgrade to Mysql 4.1? Is there any easy way to restore a single database from a psadump file?
