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.
Debian issues are off topic on this list.
He is asking about MySQL on SUSE BECAUSE of problems with it on Debian. That is not unreasonable.
Personally I'd say ditch MySQL and put on a decent database like Firebird with its native amd64 build that works out of the box on SUSE ;)
Well, MySQL works out of the box very well on SuSE AMD 64, too. However, I am wondering why we need to install the mysql-MAX package before we can gain access to InnoDB tables in SUSE Professional 9.2? This has confused quite a few users that I know of, since: A) if it is unable to create InnoDB tables, MySQL fails to do so silently B) MySQL's own literature all states that MySQL 4+ supports InnoDB by default (which it normally does) C) Attempting to activate InnoDB support via the my.cnf file without first installing mysql-MAX causes the basic mysql daemon to fail to start D) the package name "mysql-MAX" is very easy to confuse with MySQL's own MaxDB product I appologise if this question has been asked before, but am I missing something about the version(s) of MySQL that ship with SuSE Pro?
