Seriously, if you simply stop MySQL, the user will get such a message. Of course, if MySQL is used for other things, you can't do that.
Thanks, but I'd like to be able to show this message while the upgrade script is updating the database... The solution proposed, to use the read-only message, is probably an acceptable alternative, although during the version upgrade some error message could be generated to the user.
