Re: rpms for MySQL clustering

[Alex Davies]

This is copied from a table in word, but if you copy it into Excel it should make sense.

Package Description SQL Storage Management
MySQL-server The basic MySQL server Y N N
MySQL-Max The extra packages that make a MySQL-Max Y N N
MySQL-client The mysql client program Y N N
MySQL-devel Libraries and header files Probably N N
MySQL-shared Dynamic client libraries Probably N N
MySQL-bench Benchmarking tools Up to you N N
MySQL-ndb-storage Storage node binaries N Y N
MySQL-ndb-tools Storage node tools N Y N
MySQL-ndb-extra Extra storage node tools N Y N
MySQL-ndb-management Management node tools N N Y

Note that you don’t strictly require this or the MySQL-ndb-extra package to run a storage node, but its a good idea if you want access to the extra binaries.
