Re: Midyear 2012 MacBook Pro Shutdown Issues

You know that does make a little sense. As mentioned, it’s all about the order of things being shutdown. It also depends what type of database you have, re their open connections and so on and so forth. There may be some tuning that can be done either in your my.cnf file or as suggested in th
