Hello.
I have used a shell on a Solaris box, and successfully ran MySQL Server
under my non-root account. I didn't have any problems installing
it, except that I was unable to start it automatically on boot (I didn't
have permission to write to system startup files). Specify your
configuration settings, say, in /your/home/my.cnf. Then
start MySQL Server using mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/your/home/my.cnf&.
Here is the part of my configuration file for MySQL on Linux, however,
in my opinion, it is quite suitable for Solaris.
