Hi,
is there a possibility to configure a MySQL database in such a way that I
can store the database on a read-only medium (say a CD), but still be able
to write to the database (without having to copy the datafiles to disk or
memory first)?
What I have in mind is something like telling MySQL to use a different
datafile for the new data.
Could partitioning come to the rescue? Although the documentation mentions
that it is possible that partions reside in different physical locations
("Partitioning takes this notion a step further, by allowing you to
distribute portions of individual tables across a filesystem according to
rules which you can set largely as needed"), I could not find any
description of how this could be done, or whether it has actually been
implemented.
The solution should work with either MyISAM or INNODB, or better still, be
independent of the engine.
Cheers,
Frank
