Chapter 11. MySQL Installation and Configuration This chapter discusses issues involved in setting up and configuring MySQL: Running MySQL on Windows Running MySQL on Unix and Unix-like systems such as Linux Selecting the proper runtime configuration options Reasons to compile MySQL from a source distribution rather than using a precompiled binary distribution Upgrading an older installation to a newer version of MySQL Configuring your operating system and hardware to make MySQL perform better Questions on the material in this chapter make up approximately 20% of the exam. This study guide covers general installation principles and procedures, not details specific to a particular variety of Windows or Unix. For those kinds of details, see the installation chapter in the MySQL Reference Manual. You can get any distribution files you need from http://www.mysql.com, the MySQL AB Web site.
