& not so powerful server in my network, For performance reasons, I'd like to<br>
test the configuration with an internal MySQL Server, but I'm finding little<br>
information how it works.<br>
I had thought the internal MySQL server would work somehow like this<br>
- I'd set up e.g. a mariadb server on the PC on the PC digikam is running at<br>
- I'd create the three databases (core, thumbs, faces),<br>
and populate them with a dump I made on the server<br>
- I'd enter the details of the co-located server into digikam's setup<br>
<br>
However, the dialog for using an internal MySQL db looks much different to<br>
the external one - <br>
no way to enter db names, user/password, etc. Seems that digikam wants to<br>
configure the databases itself, resp. digikam has a built-in MySQL server?<br>
<br>
Is there some more information how this works, especially in a case where<br>
existing databases need to be migrated?<br>
(I've also looked at the Migration dialog, but before trying this I'd like<br>
to better understand the background :-)<br>
