I'm not quite sure what search terms to use, otherwise I'm sure I could find 
this on Google.

I have a working install of MySQL on an older computer, running the current 
version of my program.  I am about to start developing a newer version of my 
program on a new computer.  I'd like to have both versions (current and new) 
on the same computer, however, that will cause a LOT of problems in 
interference between the current and development versions of my program.

Is there any way to separate these, so I can run mysql one way to access the 
databases for the current version, and run it another way to access the newer 
databases for the development version (and yes, many databases in the 
development version will have the same name as those in the current version).

For example, if I ran a command "mysql", I'd get these tables:

CaseData
Clients
GeneralSetup

And if I ran an alias, like, say, "new-mysql", I'd get these tables:

CaseData  (same name, different table)
Clients  (same name, different table)
GeneralSetup  (same name, different table)
DataFilters

I am running MySQL on Linux, if that makes a difference.
