you should ensure that you have this version or newer.









We have tested MySQL on Alpha with our benchmarks and test suite,









and it appears to work nicely.  The main thing we haven't yet had time to









test is how things works with many concurrent users.









and it appears to work nicely. 

















When we compiled the standard MySQL binary we are using SuSE 6.4,









kernel 2.2.13-SMP, Compaq C compiler (V6.2-504) and Compaq C++ compiler









(V6.3-005) on a Comaq DS20 machine with an Alpha EV6 processor.









We currently build the MySQL binary packages on SuSE Linux 7.0 for AXP,









kernel 2.4.4-SMP, Compaq C compiler (V6.2-505) and Compaq C++ compiler









(V6.3-006) on a Compaq DS20 machine with an Alpha EV6 processor.

















You can find the above compilers at









@uref{http://www.support.compaq.com/alpha-tools/}).  By using these compilers,









instead of gcc, we get about 9-14% better performance with MySQL.

















Note that the configure line optimised the binary for the current CPU; this









means you can only use our binary if you have an Alpha EV6 processor. We also









compile statically to avoid library problems.









Note that until MySQL version 3.23.52 and 4.0.2 we optimised the binary for









the current CPU only (by using the @code{-fast} compile option); this meant









that you could only use our binaries if you had an Alpha EV6 processor.

















Starting with all following releases we added the @code{-arch generic} flag









to our compile options, which makes sure the binary runs on all Alpha









processors. We also compile statically to avoid library problems.

















@example









CC=ccc CFLAGS="-fast" CXX=cxx CXXFLAGS="-fast -noexceptions -nortti" \









CC=ccc CFLAGS="-fast -arch generic" CXX=cxx \









CXXFLAGS="-fast -arch generic -noexceptions -nortti" \









./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --disable-shared \









--with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client \
