      I am using the latest version of mysql (winxp/mysql ver 4.0.12) and i am having trouble getting mysql to work with sym links. i have mysql running on my local machine and have a database that is located elsewhere on the network.

      i have created a .sym file that points to the location of the data. the database is listed as a database when i connect using sqlyog, but when i try to access it i get a 1049 error.

      i have experitmented a little and tried to map it to a local drive letter instead of a network path. i have found that the sym file will only work if i have it mapped to a location on my physical local hard drive beginning with 'c:'.

      here is the contents of the .sym files i have tried and their results:

      data.sym:

      contents:

      file2mhhs

      results:

      error 1049

      data1.sym:

      contents:

      z:

      results:

      the z drive is mapped to file2mhhs, still gives an error 1049

      data2.sym:

      contents:

      c:mhhs

      results:

      i moved the database contens over to my local machine and it works… but i need to have the database on the network 🙁

      data3.sym:

      contents:

      z:

      results:

      the z drive is mapped to my local directory c:mhhs, gives an error 1049

      is this a sqlyog error or a mysql error? any help is appreciated.

      Matt
