There are some settings that are required for MySQL to work with SkyVault.
The following table represents the specific settings in the MySQL configuration wizard that enable MySQL to work effectively with SkyVault.
| Configuration wizard dialog | Setting for SkyVault |
|---|---|
| Server Type | Choose Dedicated MySQL Server Machine. The option selected determines the memory allocation. |
| Database usage | Choose Transactional Database Only. This creates a database that uses InnoDB as its storage engine. |
| InnoDB Tablespace | Accept the default drive and path. |
| Concurrent Connections | Select Decision Support (DSS) OLAP. This sets the approximate number of concurrent connections to the server. |
| Networking and Strict Mode Options | Accept the default networking options (Enable TCP/IP Networking, Port Number 3306), and the default server SQL mode (Enable Strict Mode). |
| Character Set | Select Best Support for Multilingualism. This sets the default character set to be UTF-8 (set in character-set-server). |
| Security Options | Select Modify Security Settings. Type the root password admin, then retype the password. |
By default, table aliases are case sensitive on Unix but not on Windows or Mac OS X. Use the following variable setting to enable MySQL server to handle case sensitivity of database and table names:
lower_case_table_names=1
Using this variable setting allows MySQL to convert all table names to lowercase on storage and lookup. This behavior also applies to database names and table aliases. This setting also prevents data transfer problems between platforms and between file systems with varying case sensitivity.
