Just so folks know, In the Installation documentation, appendix 17, it talks about updating my.cnf, specifically the [mysql] section. But--at least in linux--it should be the [mysqld] section.
The instructions for setting up an external database say to convert the entire database server to uft8. This is not a good idea if you're running other databases on the server. In fact--when bugzilla went to utf8--their documentation said that changing the database to utf8 without running a conversion program would cause loss of data! We need a way to set just the fanfare tables to utf8.
The instructions also don't indicate what type of table type should be used: MyISAM or innodb. MyISAM only does table locks, so that might be an issue? Has anyone reseached this?
The cleanup script seems a bit ugly, building up command lines to delete records one at a time. I'm guessing that this will be quite slow on the amount of data fanfare generates. Has anyone benchmarked this?
