Hi list,
In general, is there any guarantee that the .frm and innodb files
(including logs) will be exactly the same cross-platform? More
specifically, would the database data files created on Windows work when placed on an OSX installation of the same version?
Assume whatever version of mysql you are familiar with, although if it matters I'm using 4.0.20. The same configuration for each platforms' installation.
My intent is to be able to distribute a pre-populated database on
multiple platforms. It is desirable to conserve disk space by sharing
the data files amongst distributions if possible. I've tested it and it
appears to work. This is preferable to using mysqldump and importing when the typical end-user would have difficulty accomplishing that.
Thanks.
