Hi Everyone, I'm using MySQL with 5 2gb InnoDB data files in a system that an end user will install. My problem is that the first time InnoDB starts up after installation it takes a long time for it to build its data files.
The delay is annoying (any ways to make this faster?) but acceptable, but the problem is that during system startup I start the server backgrounded, sleep a few seconds and start a daemon that relies on the database being ready. When its starting the first time the server isn't there to connect to and the daemon flops. So finally getting to my question: How can I tell when the database is ready to go (preferably from a shell script)? And an unrelated question, is there a guide to setting up a minimal MySQL installation?
