Can you clarify a bit on instance? Are you saying one server for each customer? If so I wouldn't go that route, simply because: 1) If your customers expand, you have to setup another server, and that gets old after awhile 2) You'll have to have different ports for each server, because the standard msyql port can only be used by one server -- Chris White PHP Programmer/Dances With DB's Interfuel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
