Sharing MySQL DB on a dual boot system
Posted: 10. January 2008 16:31
I have a dual boot laptop that has Windows XP Professional and Suse Linux 10.1; the two OSs share a FAT32 partition so that I can have data files accessible to both OSs.
I have installed XAMPP on both systems, and have it running on either OS with no problems. My question is this:
How can I make the two MySQL installations share the same DB? I understand that there will be DB restrictions related to size (a 4 GB size restriction, I believe), but this is a development environment so I don't think that's a big deal.
It would be awesome if I could access the same MySQL data from either OS.
