Karthik,
Hi - and yes, it does require an install. If you don't want to install,
just make sure to run it with flags that will allow it to run from
wherever you like. What I did to show you how you can do this from the
directory you compile from:
patg@hanuman:~/mysql-build/maria$ mkdir sql/var
patg@hanuman:~/mysql-build/maria$ ./sql/mysqld --no-defaults
--skip-grant-tables --language=`pwd`/sql/share/english
--basedir=`pwd`/sql --port=33006 --socket=/tmp/mysql_patg.sock
--pid-file=/tmp/mysql_patg.pid --log-error=/tmp/mysql_patg.log
--maria-log-dir-path=/tmp
This makes is so:
* the server doesn't use grant tables for authentication. The only
schema you'll see is information_schema
* the base directory for the server is `pwd`/sql. In the source code,
the characters sets can be found in sql/share/*
* logs, pid files, etc, to /tmp
* Run on non-privileged port
Then to test that I connect:
patg@hanuman:~$ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 33006
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.1.32-maria-beta Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> show databases;
