@strong{MySQL}: (The example uses the IBM compiler)

@example

shell> CC="xlc_r" CFLAGS="-ma -O3 -qstrict" \

       CXX="xlC_r" CXXFLAGS="-ma -O3 -qstrict" \

       ./configure

export CC="xlc_r -ma -O3 -qstrict -qoptimize=3 -qmaxmem=8192 " 

export CXX="xlC_r -ma -O3 -qstrict -qoptimize=3 -qmaxmem=8192"

export CFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include"

export LDLFAGS="-L /usr/local/lib"

export CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS

export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

		--localstatedir=/var/mysql \

		--sysconfdir=/etc/mysql \

		--sbindir='/usr/local/bin' \

		--libexecdir='/usr/local/bin' \

		--enable-thread-safe-client \

		--enable-large-files

@end example

The above is the options used to compile the @strong{MySQL} distribution that

can be found at @uref{http://www-frec.bull.com/, www-frec.bull.com}.

If you change the @code{-O3} to @code{-O2} in the above configure line,

you must also remove the @code{-qstrict} option (this is a limitation in

the IBM C compiler).

If you are using @code{gcc} or @code{egcs} to compile @strong{MySQL}, you

@strong{MUST} use the @code{-fno-exceptions} flag, as the exception

handling in @code{gcc}/@code{egcs} is not thread-safe!  (This is tested with

@code{egcs} 1.1.)  We recommend the following @code{configure} line with

@code{egcs} and @code{gcc} on AIX:

@code{egcs} 1.1.).  There is also some known problems with IBM's assembler

which may cause it to generate bad code when used with gcc.

We recommend the following @code{configure} line with @code{egcs} and

@code{gcc 2.95} on AIX:

@example

shell> CC=gcc \

       CXX=gcc \

       CXXFLAGS="-felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \" \

shell> CC="gcc -pipe -mcpu=power2 -Wa,-many" \

       CXX="gcc -pipe -mcpu=power2 -Wa,-many" \

       CXXFLAGS="-felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \

       ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-debug --with-low-memory

@end example

The @code{-Wa,-many} is necessary for the compile to be successful. IBM is

aware of this problem but is in to hurry to fix because of the

workaround available.  We don't know if the @code{-fno-exceptions} is required

with @code{gcc 2.95}, but as @strong{MySQL} doesn't use exceptions and the

above option generates faster code we recommend that one should always use

this option with @code{egcs / gcc}.

If you have problems with signals (@strong{MySQL} dies unexpectedly

under high load) you may have found an OS bug with threads and

signals. In this case you can tell @strong{MySQL} not to use signals by

by HP's compilers. I did not change the flags.

@subsection BeOS notes

We are really interested in getting @strong{MySQL} to work on BeOS, but

unfortunately we don't have any person that knows BeOS or have

time to do a port.

We are interested to find someone to do a port and we will help them

with any techincal questions they may have while doing the port.

We have previously talked with some BeOS developers that have said that

@strong{MySQL} is '80% ported to BeOS', but we haven't heard from these

in a while.

@section Windows notes

mysqldump --opt database > backup-file.sql

@end example

You can read this back into @strong{MySQL} with:

@example

mysql database < backup-file.sql

@end example

or

@example

mysql -e "source /patch-to-backup/backup-file.sql" database

@end example

However, it's also very useful to populate another @strong{MySQL} server with

information from a database:

@section Operating systems supported by MyODBC

@strong{MyODBC} is a 32-bit ODBC (2.50) level 0 driver for connecting

an ODBC-aware application to @strong{MySQL}.  @strong{MyODBC} works on

Windows95, Windows98, NT and on most Unix platforms.

@strong{MyODBC} is a 32-bit ODBC (2.50) level 0 (with level 1 and level

2 features) driver for connecting an ODBC-aware application to

@strong{MySQL}.  @strong{MyODBC} works on Windows95, Windows98, NT and

on most Unix platforms.

Normally you only need to install @strong{MyODBC} on Windows machines.

You only need @strong{MyODBC} for Unix if you have a program like

@code{"Query|SQLSpecific|Pass-Through"} from the Access menu.

@end itemize

@item ADO

When you access @strong{MyODBC} through ADO, @strong{MyODBC} doesn't

return a result for @code{SQLRowCount} for a query.  We have tried to

track this down and according to ODBC logs, @strong{MyODBC} returns the

correct answer but the ADO client only gets -1 back from the ODBC

manager.  Because of this we can only assume this is a bug in ADO.

The only known workaround is to use a @code{SELECT COUNT(*)} statement

for a similar query to get the correct row count.

@item Borland Builder 4

When you start a query you can use the property @code{Active} or use the

method @code{Open}.  Note that @code{Active} will start by automatically issue

modified with 3.23.22 must be repaired!

temporary table.
