This Thread was of great help and did convince me to move to mySQL. I have pretty good SQL experience Oracle and Microsoft but had never done mysql.
I did download the RPM's from my SQL and did an install on my test slimserver 32bit and had no problems. The mysql admin tool made me feel pretty much at home. Spent a bit of time playing with mysql to understand how it worked. The configuraiton of the slimserver was realy easy: define the connection. stop start done. amazing and simple. after that test I did apply the same thing on the real slimserver. Did install the 64bit version of mysql 5.018 with rpm - i (for some reasons Yast would not install it for me) Changed the config file. Stop Start. Done Works much faster, It used to takes several hours to scan my songs not it takes less than 1. Browsing from the slimbox has no delay at all. My eyes are now the slowest part when I browse the files. If you have a large library it is time well spent to switch to mysql. I run slimserver on a: AMD Athlon 2.8Ghz 1.5GB Ram Suse 10 64bit My songs are stored on a LSI Raid in the system 1 GB Ethernet -- klausbgva ------------------------------------------------------------------------ klausbgva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20397 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
