 * While it depends on how you will upgrade MySQL, this shouldn’t affect your content
   if done properly.

 * Thanks a lot for reply, but
    If I take back up of both wp-content and important
   folders along database and after installation of new php and mysql (version 5).
   I restor all the content along with the database. Will my site function properly?
