Hi , I would like to start the discussion on existence of two MySQL versions say 5.0 and 5.1.
On installing the 5.0 packages ,the symbolic links that are installed in the system look like /usr/mysql/bin ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/bin /usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.0/lib /usr/mysql/include ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/include /usr/mysql/man ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/man /etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.0/my.cnf /var/mysql/data ...> /var/mysql/5.0/data On installing the 5.1 package the symbolic links would change to /usr/mysql/bin ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/bin /usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/lib /etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.1/my.cnf /var/mysql/data ..> /var/mysql/5.1/data How should these symbolic links be customarily handled? Please advise. Thanks Sunanda -- Sunanda Menon Database Technology Group BLR03, x87098/91-80-66937098
