hi,
it's possible in mysql set the db folder into home user?
example:
user fred, home is /home/fred i want store db data in /home/fred/db.
it's possible?

i've tested in /home/fred/.my.cnf this:
datadir=/$HOME/db but don't function....

i expose the /etc/my.cnf and /home/fred/.my.cnf for more details.

goobye


*********dump /etc/my.cnf********

basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

*********dump /home/fred/.my.cnf********

# Example mysql config file for small systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (<= 64M) where MySQL is only used
# from time to time and it's important that the mysqld deamon
# doesn't use much resources.
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /var/lib/mysql) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# One can in this file use all long options that the program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program support, run the program
# with --help option.

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
