How can I avoid running out of space when doing certain complex table joins?

0

Some mSQL operations involving table joins can consume large amounts of temporary disk space. You can change the location of this temporary storage area using the following procedure: • Shutdown the mSQL database server. msqladmin shutdown • Remove the msqldb/.tmp directory from your mSQL installation directory. For example, if you installed mSQL in /usr/local/Minerva run the following command: rm -rf /usr/local/Minerva/msqldb/.tmp • Create a symbolic link from a directory with lots of space to the msqldb/.tmp directory: ln -s /lots/of/space /usr/local/Minerva/msqldb/.tmp • Restart the mSQL database server.
