Default place data directory on another drive
Does anyone know if it is possible to move the "data" folder of MySQL to another partition of the drive/server?

My intentions are to install MySQL on Win 2k in "Program Files" directory but move the "data" directory within MySQL to a seperate partition to so both data and program files are kept seperate.

I have had a look at the MySQL\include\ directory but it doesnt look like that I can modify anything to make MySQL look at a different drive for the data.

Does anyone know if this is possible??

Michael.
