Hi,
I have two hard disk on my NT machine:
disk1: slow, partitionned in C (for NT) and D (for Netscape Entreprise
Server and ColdFusion Server)
disk2: fast (partitionned in E).
For performances, is is better to install the MySQL server on the slow disk
D and to install my databases on the fast disk E, or the inverse?
Must I absolutely use the registered version of MySQL for installing MySQL
services on another disk than C on a NT machine?
Thanks very much
Best regards
