mysql database symlink

Hello,

I tried to install on my mac osx 10.3.3 my mysql 4.0.13 databases on
an other partition than its application; I know it is possible because
I managed to do it previously with jaguar.
So, as I did before, I copied complete var of mysql into the other
partition. I eliminated the var in mysql directory and I made a "var"
symlink between the mysql directory and the var new location ; after I
verified the group, user name and permissions of the var directory in
the new location and the same for the symlink; but I did not manage to
change the user with the proper name (mysql)and the permission from
755 to 711 of the symlink. I checked also the group, user and
permissions of the target var in its new location: it has proper
characteristics and the symlink did not get the same characteristics
as its target directory var.

Is there somebody to redirect me, to find my solution which must be
easy to find but ...

Thanks in advance

Lynn

Hello, I have a client (customer) who asked the question : "Why would I buy and use UDB, when MySql is free?" I had to say I was stunned. I have no experience with MySql, so I was left sort of stammering and sputtering, and managed to pull out something I heard a couple of years back - that there was no real transaction safety in MySql. In flight transactions could be lost.

I am a newbie in the world of MySQL. In fact I enabled it in my Linux box only because it is required to run WordPress (the blogging software).

I disovered that the databases are stored in subdirectories under /var/lib/mysql. My questions are basically three: (1) Why /var/lib? Why not some /home/mysql or...

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