 I just updated my database on current HEAD of trunk by pressing the button
 while WP told be to do so. I got an error reported:
 ----
 '''WordPress database error:''' [Out of range value adjusted for column
 'post_parent' at row 4]
 `ALTER TABLE wp_posts CHANGE COLUMN post_parent post_parent bigint(20)
 unsigned NOT NULL default '0'`
 ----

 However right beneath of it, I was greeted with:

 ----
 '''Update Complete'''

 Your WordPress database has been successfully updated!
 ----

 First of all I ask myself if I can trust that message as an error has been
 reported.

 Then this looks like that the update is not compatbile with my MySQL
 server which is 5.0.19 and matching the [wordpress system requirements on
 the webpage](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) (which seems to be
 out of date for trunk, but, well 5.0 is required according to
 version.php).
