Re: [cobalt-users] Installing MySQL

["David B. Peterson" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

With that setup you should be aware that the floating point functions 
don't work properly.  For example:
mysql> SELECT PI();
+----------+
| PI()     |
+----------+
| 3.141593 |
+----------+

This would be considered the 'correct' response.  On your setup it 
will give you a rather large number.  Try it, then either upgrade or 
avoid the floating point ops.

It isn't *completely* broken, but it is something that you should be 
aware of before starting to code.

I made some RPMs for MySQL for my own use on the MIPS based Cobalt 
products.  If you want copies, they are sitting here: 
<ftp://ftp.toppledwagon.com/pub/cobalt/RPMS/>  I put them on my own 
Cobalts and I think they would work, but standard disclaimers do 
apply.
