Sinisa, everyone, That's great news! I'm excited to hear that. Which version would that be... 4.0? Or perhaps another 3.x version?
In the meantime, my boss is going to wonder why I'm not populating a database for him. He will make me use Access if I don't get cracking, so... do you know of a working version of MySQL for Darwin 1.4.1 ? Alternatively, I am open to a workaround until the working version is released. I can actually use MySQL (as far as I know), it's just the "shutdown" that hangs. I have to use "kill -9" in order to kill the daemon. This makes me worry about my data, since this command has the potential to cause corruption. Is there some way that I can preserve the data, or protect it from corruption, so that at the end of the day when I shut down my laptop I can use "kill -9" without fear of damaging the contents? Or is the best policy to just back up the data directory and then go ahead and kill the daemon, then in the morning when I get to work move the backup back into the working directory? I admit that I'm still new to MySQL so I'm not sure exactly what the best course of action would be. Thanks to Sinisa, Sasha and to anyone who has input on this situation, Erik PS: do you advise that I beta-test the upcoming MySQL version? I would be open to this idea, especially if it fixes my problem, but I am working in a production environment and so would be best served with as stable a release as is available. --- Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Erik Price writes: > > Hello all, > > > > Some of you may recognize this post somewhat, I've asked about this > > problem before: > > > > I am unable to execute the "shutdown" command with mysqladmin, > running > > on Darwin 1.4.1 (from Mac OS X 10.1.0). > > Hi! > > Our colleague Sasha Pachev has made some changes in the signal > handling part of our server that should solve your problems. > > Those fixes should come up in the next MySQL version. > > -- > Regards, > __ ___ ___ ____ __ > / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Fulltime Developer > /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Larnaca, Cyprus > <___/ www.mysql.com > ===== Microsoft e[X]tra [P]roprietary -- Is this where you really wanted to go today ? -- http://www.redhat.com/about/opinions/xp.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
