I have a MySQL question that I'm hoping someone can help answer.
We have a linux machine which has MySQL 5.5.8 installed.
It is currently installed in this location: /opt/mysql
When creating a new database, a folder (with the name of the databas)
gets created in this location:
/opt/mysql/data
Is there any way to change the location of where data is stored?
The database that I need to create is going to have over a billion
records in it,
so it needs to be in a specific place.
I want the database folder to get created here:
/science/databases/databasename
Thanks for any help.
