Updating jdbc drivers Tomcat 7

Hello,

Reading the Tomcat documentation, to upgrade jdbc drivers one would perform the following.

1.      Shutdown the Tomcat instance(s)

2.      Remove the current jdbc driver in the base /lib directory then copy new driver to the directory

3.      Restart the Tomcat instance(s) and the /lib directory will be scanned and the new drivers used

Does the old driver have to be removed from the /lib directory, or can the extention be changed to something like .old?

Thanks
-John
