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 ;)
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
