Many CMDBA (Certified MySQL Database Administrator) candidates give away points on their exams that could be remedied with a half hour of exploration. This is not an easy set of exams but there is something you can do to add points to your score. The way to do this is to install MySQL on a Windows system.
Many in the FOSS world may never actually touch a Windows system. But if you look around, you may be able to find an older, unused system sitting around for this exercise. Many folks have older windows systems gathering dust that you can borrow.
Once you have the Windows box, here is a three part exercise to help boost your exam scores.
One: Download and install the Windows binaries. The install features a wizard to guide you through installation. You will now have an instance of MySQL on your system.
Two: Track down the configuration files and add a second instance.
Three: Get this second instance running.
This simple exercise should not take a hour of your time on even the slowest of Windows systems.
That is it. End of exercise.
