According to what I read in the manual, I'm lead to believe that MySQL on Windows can read from either C:\my.cnf or systemdir\my.ini. Which will it read first?
The manual also seems to say that you can only use one. So if you create both, which will it prefer? Here's the part I'm reading: There are two configuration files with the same function: `my.cnf' and `my.ini' file, however please note that only of one these should can used. Both files are plain text. The `my.cnf' file should be created in the root directory of drive C and the `my.ini' file on the WinDir directory e.g: `C:\WINDOWS' or `C:\WINNT'. If your PC uses a boot loader where the C drive isn't the boot drive, then your only option is to use the `my.ini' file. Also note that if you use the WinMySQLAdmin tool, only the `my.ini' file is used. The `\mysql\bin' directory contains a help file with instructions for using this tool. If I had a suitable system handy to install on, I'd just install it and try (of course). Can anyone shed some light on this? Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
