Hi, I'm working under Windows 98 with MySQL version 3.23.29. I tried to connect to a database that is on a different disk from the data directory (g:\mysql\data). So I created a file g:\mysql\data\pfi.sym containing the path e:\databases\pfi. I compiled with the USE_SYMDIR option and launched the server with -s option. When I execute the "SHOW DATABASES" command, I can see that "pfi" database exists. When I try to connect to "pfi" database, I get the message "unknown database". Did I do something wrong ? I had a look in the code and got the error in mysql_change_db function. I saw nothing in this function taking into account the symbolic links...
