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. Cheers, -.mag

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 ;) -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services

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?

I was reading about firebird, but it's not encouraging when you see a news snippet like this on firebirds site: ###### 19-Jan-2005 AMD64 Builds of Firebird 1.5.2 are recalled Because some potential corruption problems have shown up with pre-existing databases on the AMD64 Linux installations of Firebird 1.5.2, the kits have been recalled to the pre-release area for further testing. ###### What version is in the 9.2 out of the box? -.mag

SUSE doesn't ship Firebird. Only postgres/mysql/sleepycat db/gdbm. Older versions also included sapdb (aka MaxDB now), but that has been dropped some time ago. -Andi

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). Mark

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

I usually use the binary distro. I typically use the tar.gz file simply because its easier for my setup. I've compiled it without a problem too. Heres the configure line I used for 4.1.8: CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/mysql/mysql-4.1.8 --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --enable-thread-safe-client --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-local-infile Mark
