Take a look at:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Introduction.html#Table_size

If you are installing on Windows, see:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Windows_installation

And, of course:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Operating_System_Specific_Notes

EY I want to play around with converting an existing FoxPro data base (about
EY 65mb in all tables, 55mb in the largest table) to mySQL.  And learning PHP 
EY from square 1, and learning more about Linux, where I know only a little.

EY The machine that is available without additional cost is a dual Pentium 
EY classic 166 with 128mb memory, 1.2G hard drive.  Memory slots are fully 
EY stuffed.  I could add another hard drive that's on the shelf.

EY I need to start with a new machine?

I believe it's more than enough to learn MySQL. Our server at Ensita
runs MySQL 3.23.47 on a Pentium-200MMX box with 56ram and -
surprise - it proceeds it all. Noone here feels a need to upgrade.

I have seen MySQL working on a very ancient 486 box with as little RAM as
8mb and MySQL did everything that was designated for.

MySQL system requirements

2002-01-20 Thread Erv Young

All,

I have searched the online manual in vain for mySQL system 
requirements.  Can anyone give me the precise URL?  Is there one?

I want to play around with converting an existing FoxPro data base (about 
65mb in all tables, 55mb in the largest table) to mySQL.  And learning PHP 
from square 1, and learning more about Linux, where I know only a little.

The machine that is available without additional cost is a dual Pentium 
classic 166 with 128mb memory, 1.2G hard drive.  Memory slots are fully 
stuffed.  I could add another hard drive that's on the shelf.

Will that setup be adequate for a single-user learning experience, or will

TIA.

 The machine that is available without additional cost is a 
 dual Pentium 
 classic 166 with 128mb memory, 1.2G hard drive.

For a single user system for learning this will be MORE than enough. More
disk space is nice to install more optional packags in addition to the
MySQL-- 
that way you will have a lot of other cool Linux tools to learn and play
with, 
but you can easily get going with this.
