Hello all,
I have MySQL installed on a Mandrake Linux system, it is installed on
the /usr partition.
I was wondering, is it possible to store some databases on the /var
partition while MySQL is installed on the /usr partition?
And, if it is possible, can you store DB_A on /usr and DB_B on /var

Thanks again,

Hi.
By using DATA DIRECTORY='directory' or INDEX DIRECTORY='directory' in CREATE TABLE
clause, you can specify where the MyISAM storage engine should put table's data and
index file[s].
See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_TABLE.html
Also,you may use 'datadir' server
