How MySQL is installed?

[jabw]

Hi,

I'm using a MySQL database, installed on a Windows 2003 machine, that's installed sometime ago.?
But I don't know how it's installed.
I think it's installed as a development database? with a limited number of users? but I don't know this for sure.

Any suggestions how to check what's possible with this installation?

Thanks.

There is no such thing as a development database with a commercially limited number of users.

To see what's possible:

SELECT @@SQL_MODE;

shows the main settings. Can be empty or a combination of server settings.

SHOW ENGINES;

Shows what engines are available.

SELECT VERSION();

shows what version is installed. Look at

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

to see what the changes are for newer versions.
