[slim] Re: When should I switch from SQLLite to MySQL?
I've never heard of ungrant. To be honest, if you're not comfortable with MySQL already, you may be better off using the supported solution i.e. the sqllite db. You don't need to specifically create the slimserver user. 'grant all on slimserver.* to slimserver' implicitly creates the user called slimserver.

[slim] Re: When should I switch from SQLLite to MySQL?
I got MySQL running last night. It was fun, and I even updated the wiki page a bit with some pointers. I haven't run it through its paces yet but it seems a bit more responsive. The catch for me is I'm using a bit more memory (slimserver uses less, mysqld uses more than the difference) and with a 128 MB Kuro Box there's not much room to play. Also of note is my album count went from 1018 to 994. I think some of this might be that I've renamed a few albums (incorrect tagging from freedb) and perhaps the SQLLite database wasn't cleaned up correctly. Either that or I'm missing some albums (but I haven't noticed any yet.) -- mrfantasy --Mike mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20281 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

user.
I installed DBD::mysql
I edited the slimserver.pref file as indicated in other posts.

Good Point - to be fair to Slimdevices though SQLite is still the default for now. I suppose the wiki will catch up when MySQL is the default. One of the things that I believe the developers are looking at for the switch is how to automate all this.

[slim] Re: When should I switch from SQLLite to MySQL?
Well prompted! I put mysql on my server last week in order to serve another application. Your post prompted me to take the obvious step of making SlimServer use it. Following the wiki entry, it took me an obsolute maximum of 5 minutes to set up. I'd say things definitely seem faster as a result, although I've not had much time to check. I'm convinced that random mix now takes less time to select tracks - the gap between starting a mix and the first song starting to play seems much shorter.

Sounds like I should give it a shot. I had trouble creating the DBs the other day, so I will see if I am doing something wrong. I'll let you know my experiences. Thanks for the feedback...
