I'm preparing a db project using mySQL. It's running on my Win98 machine with Apache 3.something. I've written a
fairly simple HTML form that calls a CGI script in Perl to search the db. Everything works just fine BUT:

mySQL insists I keep the database in its directory (c:/mySQL/data/, as it's set up here). I want to move the data elsewhere (let's say to c:/project/). There seems to be no way to do this - putting a full path name in the CONNECT statement doesn't work. Any ideas?

(I want to solve this so that when I upload the project to a 'real' Web server, I can keep the db where I can
get at it easily.)

Peter.
