Two changes to the rc.d script:
1) Move the setting of pidfile to a place so that setting mysqld_datadir
in rc.conf will actually work; otherwise, if you use a non-default
mysqld_datadir, mysqld will not start.
2) ad@ pointed me to http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=18526, and said
that --skip-thread-priority should not be used on NetBSD, and the
PR spoke about Darwin / OS/X. I'm guessing that this might work
if the host platform is Linux or SunOS (the latter is unconfirmed).
So add that option to the startup in all other cases.
MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the
most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.
The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.
The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).
This package contains the MySQL server programs and libraries.
