All: It would be really nice if there were some way (a variable) to make MySQL totally ignore certain directories in the datadir - for example, "lost+found", "RCS", and suchlike.
The listed dirs should not show up in SHOW DATABASES and you should not be able to CREATE a database with a name that's on the list. (Sorry if this has come up before and been hashed to death. Google couldn't find much on this subject.) -- John Hardin KA7OHZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Internal Systems Administrator voice: (425) 672-1304 Apropos Retail Management Systems, Inc. fax: (425) 672-0192 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "To disable the Internet to save EMI and Disney is the moral equivalent of burning down the library of Alexandria to ensure the livelihood of monastic scribes." -- John Ippolito of the Guggenheim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 63 days until The Matrix Reloaded --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
