FreeBSD

我在 FreeBSD 用 ports 安裝 databases/mysql41-server 、 databases/mysql50-server 時，會放這些 configuration parameters：

• WITH_CHARSET=big5
• WITH_XCHARSET=all
• BUILD_OPTIMIZED

（databases/mysql51-server 會多放個 WITH_FAST_MUTEXES）

之前要安裝 databases/mysql55-server 時發現…
databases/mysql55-server 只剩下 WITHOUT_OPENSSL 與 WITH_FASTMTX 這兩個 configuration parameters 可以用，而預設的 WITH_EXTRA_CHARSETS（文章前頭提到的 WITH_XCHARSET）就是 all；以往使用的 WITH_CHARSET=big5 必須從 my.cnf 作設定（這也的確是比較好的作法）；BUILD_OPTIMIZED 則是不需要了（也不支援？）。

另外，databases/mysql55-server 預設只有這些 storage engines：

mysql> SHOW ENGINES;
+--------------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| Engine             | Support | Comment                                                    | Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
+--------------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| MRG_MYISAM         | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| CSV                | YES     | CSV storage engine                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MyISAM             | DEFAULT | MyISAM storage engine                                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| InnoDB             | YES     | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES          | YES  | YES        |
| PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA | YES     | Performance Schema                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MEMORY             | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables  | NO           | NO   | NO         |

ARCHIVE、BLACKHOLE、EXAMPLE 跟 FEDERATED 這四個 storage engines 可以透過 INSTALL PLUGIN 的方式進行安裝，例：

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN archive SONAME 'ha_archive.so';

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN blackhole SONAME 'ha_blackhole.so';

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN example SONAME 'ha_example.so';

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN federated SONAME 'ha_federated.so';
