It is just that the way it is currently set up, you can only run ONE instance as a Service under NT/2000/XP. So you will have to start up at least all but the first instance yourself (could be via a batch file in the Startup folder of course).
This, I presume, is because the mysql service wrapper can't be passed any parameters, and so has to rely on the standard c:\my.cnf and/or c:\winnt\my.ini. Right?
(It would have been nice if there was a way to have it pick up a configuration file based on its service name. That way, when you do the "--install", if there was an additional option to install it using a specific service name instead of "MySql", it could pick up c:\servicename.ini first, and then c:\my.sql and finally c:\winnt\my.ini.
Feature request?
Or, you could make this cross-platform by having it look for a file based on its own executable filename, and we could just make copies of the mysqld executable to, say, mysqld-3308, and have that pick up "mysqld-3308.ini" first...)
2. On Windows 2000+, is there a 2GB limit on a single table? The OS itself doesn't have such a restriction any more..
It will also depend on the filesystem you use (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS).
To be specific: if it's NTFS, and I'm using MyISAM, will I be able to create tables larger than 2GB?
