Where does mysql_config get its defaults from?

I recently upgraded to mysql version 4.1.13 (server is SuSE linux 9.3)
and attempted to re-install the Perl DBD::mysql module, which kept
failing because it couldn't open /tmp/mysql.sock. After spending way
too much time trying to figure out why it was trying to find that
socket (my.cnf specifies /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock), I finally realized
that mysql_config was pointing it there.

IMO, this makes no sense, since during the mysql build/install process,
the socket was created in /var/lib/mysql and (as stated above) my.cnf
specifies the location as /var/lib/mysql.

So, my question is: where does mysql_config get its defaults from and
why does it specify /tmp when the distribution installed the socket in
/var/lib/mysql.

Thanks in advance.

Hello list For some strange reason `mysql_config --...` does not work. If try something like gcc -o progname `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c `mysql_config --libs` (NOTE: "/usr/local/mysql/bin" is in the PATH var, mysql_config works when invoked)

I'm finding that column defaults are not being assigned to nulls when I do an insert by way of a an ON INSERT rule on a view. For example, the following script \set ON_ERROR_STOP ON \c template1 --DROP DATABASE testdb; CREATE DATABASE testdb; \c testdb

Out of curiosity, I tried to check the help file for the property 'Fetch Defaults' to see what it is for. No surprise, it is not mentioned. F1 on the property give nothing. A search of MS knowledge base is equally unhelpful. Can anyone explain what this new property in 2003 is for? Jeff

Hi, I am developing an application that needs to store some machine-specific settings. The application is going to be published on the network in order to keep the clients on the latest version. Because of this, I am unable to store these settings in the App.Config file, as this gets updated every time the application does, and there doesn't appear to be a way of preventing this. Most of my application settings are kept in the...

I'm using strtok to break apart a colon-delimited string. It basically works, but it looks like strtok skips over empty sections. In other words, if the string has 2 colons in a row, it doesn't treat that as a null token, it just treats the 2 colons as a single delimiter. Is that the intended behavior?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
