With MyISAM tables, you can move just about anything: entire databases, tables, even just the indexes. Just move the files, and create symlinks in their place pointing to the new locations. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Moving tables to different disks (High Performance MySQL)
In the High Performance MySQL book, on page 124, the author suggests: "If you have all your MySQL data on a single disk, you can try moving pieces to another disk. If the majority of activity is focused on a small group of tables, consider moving them to a separate disk." How do you accomplish that? I know InnoDB now allows you to specify a tablespace per table, but what about MyISAM table types? Thanks, Lou
