Hi , Shall appreciate your feedback on this email.
Is it ok to install 32bit mysql under /usr/mysql/32bit and 64bit under /usr/mysql/64bit. I understand that this is different from how Solaris libraries are distributed but if we twig the way MySQL is usually installed, it will not go well with the users of MySQL (as they will be all confused to not find the required binaries in its place and also to find redundant sym links to different directories) I think we should install MySQL the way it is usually installed . We can change the installation directory, the data and log directory but if we try to change the location of files inside the install area, it will all become very messy and confusing. On a seperate note, do we have to bundle both 32bit and 64bit of MySQL in webstack ? Based on the other thread "Database 32bit and 64bit" , it appears to me that the requirements is just to integrate 32bit.
