I think I just converted my Berkeley database to MySQL. I'm not entirely sure. I did get the "Done copying data from Berkeley DB to your SQL database! All went well." message, so I think that part of the conversion worked.
I'm just not sure if I am currently using MySQL or if I'm somehow still hooked into the Berkeley database.
And I'm not sure how to tell.
Uh ... yeah. But STILL - I converted my damn database (mostly) all by myself (thanks, John!).
ETA: Dear god, I think it worked. I just checked my SQL database and the last row in the table is for entry #689 - and that's this one.
I am honestly STUNNED.
Oh, and for anyone on GoDaddy who is attempting to upgrade Movable Type from Berkeley to MySQL, the glitch I found was that the password for your MySQL database must match the password for your Berkeley database. At first I was using two different passwords, and I could not get access to the server. But as soon as I made all the passwords the same (i.e. the SQL db had the same password as my GoDaddy user account), everything went swimmingly.

Nope, still nothing. Something about who's your daddy or GoDaddy or something? Yeah, no idea.
