Two WordPress versions (2.3.1 and 2.0.7) on same database?

    I am sure this has been asked and answered but I do not have the proper search skills to find the thread, so here goes:

    1. I am running 2 WordPress installations (v. 2.0.7) on the same database currently. No problem there.

    2. I would like to add a 3rd installation (except this one will be v. 2.3.1) and it will be on the same database as the other two installs. I plan to use the new install to run tests before I upgrade the other 2 installs.

    Now my question: I know from experience that the first thing after the install that WordPress will ask is to update the database and I must click OK. Will this action muck up the 2.0.7 versions or can I run both 2.0.7 AND 2.3.1 concurrently on the same database?

    PS: FWIW, phpMyAdmin says “MySQL client version: 4.0.27”

    Thanks a bunch in advance.

    Bumping this up. Maybe I can simplify my question:

    Can I run both 2.0.7 AND 2.3.1 concurrently on the same database? I know I have to change the config file here:

    $table_prefix = 'wp_';

    Are there any other issues due to the different versions?

    Thanks.
