Starting with MySQL 3.23.38, the Windows distribution includes both the normal and the MySQL-Max server binaries. Here is a list of the different MySQL servers from which you can choose:
Binary | Description |
mysqld | Compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking, symbolic links, and InnoDB and BDB tables. |
mysqld-opt | Optimized binary. From version 4.0 on, InnoDB is enabled. Before 4.0, this server includes no transactional table support. |
mysqld-nt | Optimized binary for NT/2000/XP with support for named pipes. |
mysqld-max | Optimized binary with support for symbolic links, and InnoDB and BDB tables. |
mysqld-max-nt | Like mysqld-max , but compiled with support for named pipes. |
All of the preceding binaries are optimized for modern Intel processors but should work on any Intel i386-class or higher processor.
MySQL supports TCP/IP on all Windows platforms. The mysqld-nt
and mysql-max-nt
servers support named pipes on NT, 2000, and XP.
However, the default is to use TCP/IP regardless of the platform.
(Named pipes are slower than TCP/IP in many Windows configurations.)
Named pipe use is subject to these conditions:
--enable-named-pipe
option.
It is now necessary to use this option explicitly because some users have
experienced problems shutting down the MySQL server when named pipes
are used.
mysqld-nt
or mysqld-max-nt
servers, and only if the server is
run on a version of Windows that supports named pipes (NT, 2000, XP).
