MySQL database

Post by dhananjay »

Can we use single instance of MYSQL database for multiple XI servers? Can we install MYSQL on one machine and the XI server on another? if so how can we configure it?

@litsupport.box is on track, however it is worth pointing out, if you are using the same server for multiple installs, you will need to name the DBs something different for each, XI install.

i.e. They can share the same MySQL server but not share the same databases.
