[Maria-discuss] MySQL bug affects mariaDB

2013-09-27 Thread Peter Laursen

The command line clients are not services, and they are not started with --defaults-file, this is correct. But 1.We install shortcut to mysql client and shortcut does have --defaults-file , and the default-file points to the right place, i.e whenever you installed the mysql server insta

Thanks wlad for explanation, but this applies to 'shortcuts' (in start menu) only I think, as I understand your reply. If I navigate ('cd ..') to the /datadir where my.ini resides and launch 'mysql' from commnd line I will need to specify --defaults-file on the command line, right? If not the clie

On Windows multiple MySQL servers run (if only they have distinct basedir, datadir, port (and/or pipe) and service name). This is how Windows manages servides (daemons) simply! And BTW: this is the reason why Windows is a comfortable platform for application testing if you want to test an applicat
