Simple questions!!
Hello List: RH 9 MySQL 4.0.18 Just did a fresh Binary install of MySQL. Also installed support for Perl/DBI/DBD: Question: (1) I am going to setup a MySQL Client machine on a different Server. I notice I can't install a Client MySQL from Binary MySQL distro. Is it correct? (2) On a Client MySQL machine, it it necessary to START MySQL or just connecting to the MySQL Server does the job? (3) On a Client MySQL machine, is there any need to install support for Perl/DBI/DBD or support comes from the MySQL Server? (4) After I installed Perl/DBI/DBD, the cursor was still on cpan. How do I get out of this shell? Forexample: When one is in mysql shell, QUIT takes out of the mysql shwll. Thanks.

Re: Simple questions!!
Kirti, (1) I am going to setup a MySQL Client machine on a different Server. I notice I can't install a Client MySQL from Binary MySQL distro. Is it correct? I´m not sure, but I think you´ll have to install altmost the complet MySQL package on the client machine. Perhaps because the libraries. But you´ll can use MySQL normaly from a client machine. For instance, you can install MySQL Control Center in a Windows station and execute queries normaly. (2) On a Client MySQL machine, it it necessary to START MySQL or just connecting to the MySQL Server does the job? Just connect and MySQL does the job. (3) On a Client MySQL machine, is there any need to install support for Perl/DBI/DBD or support comes from the MySQL Server? Support comes from the MySQL Server. (4) After I installed Perl/DBI/DBD, the cursor was still on cpan. How do I get out of this shell? Forexample: When one is in mysql shell, QUIT takes out of the mysql shwll. It seems you´re still in the CPAN interactive shell. Ronan -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also installed support for Perl/DBI/DBD: Question: (1) I am going to setup a MySQL Client machine on a different Server. I notice I can't install a Client MySQL from Binary MySQL distro. Is it correct? Sort of. The binary installs the server and client. You can run the installer then throw out what you won't use. (2) On a Client MySQL machine, it it necessary to START MySQL or just connecting to the MySQL Server does the job? Starting MysQL means starting the server (mysqld). That only makes sense on the server machine. On a client machine, you simply use the client to connect to the already running server on the server machine. (3) On a Client MySQL machine, is there any need to install support for Perl/DBI/DBD or support comes from the MySQL Server? That depends on what you mean. If you wish to run a Perl script on the client machine, you must have Perl installed on the client machine. If you wish to use DBI/DBD with Perl on the client machine, you have to install them on the client machine. The client machine can't run the copy of Perl installed on the server. On the other hand, the mysql client program itself has no need of Perl, so you don't need to install Perl on the client unless you want to. (4) After I installed Perl/DBI/DBD, the cursor was still on cpan. How do I get out of this shell? Forexample: When one is in mysql shell, QUIT takes out of the mysql shell. Enter quit at the cpan prompt. Thanks. Kirti -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
