database per user

[mailing]

hi,
it's possible in mysql set the db folder into home user?
example:
user fred, home is /home/fred i want store db data in /home/fred/db.
it's possible?

i've tested in /home/fred/.my.cnf this:
datadir=/$HOME/db but don't function....

i expose the /etc/my.cnf and /home/fred/.my.cnf for more details.

# You can copy this file to

# One can in this file use all long options that the program supports.
