Pete, I've considered that (and I'm going to try it on a development box). Unfortunately the target of this messy operation is a production system with a few hundred customers, and my employer would lynch me if I casually announced we can no longer use packaged (standard) MySQL binaries. :) I was hoping there was some tweak that could be made in, say, my.cnf, but I imagine that only affects the MySQL client binary and not *anything* build from the library. Thanks for the suggestion though; I will try it on a development box. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
