Hi Chris, I am Tom, you know your manager, did you say that I am wrong!!!
Just kidding :-). Well I cannot find any good reason for having two databases in two different instance. Do you have two Oracles or Microsoft SQL Server instances in the computer? Nope. The only reason when that is acceptable, is when you want to keep two version of the same database engine. Like having 3.23 and 4.0. Having two MySQL instances is going to complicate things making everything more difficult to maintain and install. Good Luck. --- Cal Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The pros are you can run them under separate > user/group ids therefore you > can make it much harder for someone with access to > only one to get to the > other's data. > > The cons are that you will have 2 copies running > therefore it will take > longer to maintain. > > =C= > > * > * Cal Evans > * Journeyman Programmer > * Techno-Mage > * http://www.calevans.com > * > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Stefanick > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 7:56 AM > To: MySQL Support > Subject: setting up two instances of mySQL > > > I have one product already using a mySQL database. > We just inherited a new > product (via an acquisition) that uses it's own > mySQL database which we're > going to stick on the same server.
