I’m using MySQL Workbench for Windows, is there a way to change the path of where MySQL data is stored? For instance, I would like to store some data in C: drive and I would like to store other data in another drive (E:) or something?
Thanks
All data is supposed to be stored under a single “datadir” in MySQL, but you can get creative with symbolic links so the data for a given database can live elsewhere.
