How can I get MySql on AT&T/Yahoo small business upgraded to 5.0 or later?

I have my blog hosted on AT&T/Yahoo small business servers and it is a "WordPress" blog. The latest WorPress upgrade requires MySql of 5.0 or later but I can't find any method from the web hosting control panel to upgrade the MySql.

Anyone know how I might get this done? I have sent trouble reports to Small Business Hosting SEVERAL times and NEVER received a reply....

Update:

Thank you Yahoo Small Business! That is the answer I was looking for and never got trying the "contact us" email form...

    Upgrading the version of MySQL on our servers requires a bit more than just flipping a switch. We are aware that the newest version of WordPress requires MySQL 5, and we are working on the upgrade. We do not have an exact date for the roll out yet, but when the update is available you will see a message at the top of your Web Hosting Control Panel.
