Quoting John Daisley : I would say in terms of the MySQL server the interface is either a TCP/IP Port, a Named Pipe, shared memory or a UNIX Socket. Depending on the host operating system it can use any of those interfaces but each instance must have its own interface. Just to chip in on th

An interface by definition is a point of interconnection. Maybe its a bit of a grey area where the interpretation can be different depending on whether you think in terms of hardware or software. Its the port which is used to communicate with the MySQL (or indeed any other) server software so the

Hi John, So according to this interpretation a port IS a network interface, it means that I have thousands of network interfaces on my servers?
