Can anyone tell me stories about marrying mysql and suse-amd64? It'd be great to hear in some areas where folks have successfully used mysql binary distro or home-grown compiled versions of mysql, along with the hardware they have it running on. I'm not looking for performance touting. More over if anyone has a preferred ./configure options.
I'm having a pickle of a time to get the mysql amd64 version to run stable on a debian pure64 install. My next venture is to see how well mysql on a suse-amd64 install runs. My hardware consists of dual opteron 250 8GB - sunfire v20z.
64bit Mysql works great under suse linux. I've used it without a single problem on suse 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2. Its a nice performance increase over the 32-bit version too. I had no problems installing or configuring it.
I've been running 64bit mysql on my dual opteron with Suse linux for a little over a year. I started out on the mysql 4.0.x version but now run the 4.1.x version (for no reason other than I wanted to use the features of 4.1.x).

I'll assume that you are using the mysql-standard x86_64 binary distro? Have you tinkered with compiling mysql from source? Has anyone gotten mysql compile from source on suse-amd64? Has anyone used UDF's on the mysql-max distro? Any success stories on compiling them on the suse-amd64? A more generic question, does suse use LinuxThreads or NPTL? Cheers, -.mag
