2.3.4.5. The Server Type Dialog
There are three different server types available to choose
from. The server type that you choose affects the decisions
that the MySQL Configuration Wizard makes with regard to
memory, disk, and processor usage.
: Choose this
option for a typical desktop workstation where MySQL is
intended only for personal use. It is assumed that many
other desktop applications are running. The MySQL server
is configured to use minimal system resources.
: Choose this
option for a server machine where the MySQL server is
running alongside other server applications such as FTP,
email, and Web servers. The MySQL server is configured to
use a moderate portion of the system resources.
:
Choose this option for a server machine that is intended
to run only the MySQL server. It is assumed that no other
applications are running. The MySQL server is configured
to use all available system resources.
