Answer 1

he package set installs three individual packages, SUNWmysql56lib, which contains the MySQL client libraries; SUNWmysql56r which contains the root components, including SMF and configuration files; and SUNWmysql56u which contains the scripts, binary tools and other files. You can install these packages individually if you only need the corresponding components.



The MySQL files are installed into /usr/mysql which symbolic links for the sub directories (bin, lib, etc.) to a version specific directory. For MySQL 5.6, the full installation is located in /usr/mysql/5.6. The default data directory is /var/mysql/5.6/data. The configuration file is installed in /etc/mysql/5.6/my.cnf. This layout permits multiple versions of MySQL to be installed, without overwriting the data and binaries from other versions.
