Client Tools
Contents |
[edit] Introduction
The MySQL Client Tools package is an independent distribution of the command-line mysql clients and libmysqlclient. Independent from the server tree, that is.
[edit] Status
This is highly experimental. It may not work at all. We may change how this is done entirely.
No work has yet been done to get the package compiling on non-Unix operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Patches would be welcomed.
[edit] Getting Started
Note: The source packages are not available yet. We're working on it.
Download the source package. Use ./configure to configure the package and 'make' to build.
Warning: If you install the built sources, it may conflict with headers, libraries, and command-line clients normally installed by the server package. Use --prefix=/path/to/somewhere to put it all somewhere harmless.
[edit] Known Bugs
Problems should be reported to either the 'C API' or 'Clients' category on the MySQL bugs system.
[edit] Contact
To discuss the development of this new client tools distribution, please subscribe to the MySQL Internals mailing list. It is a low-volume list with less than 10 mails per day.
