Dual Booting Database engine
 

Hi,

Until recently, I have been working on developing a databse front end in Java on a windoze platform. For development purposes, I've used M$ Access to provide the back-end.

Ok, now I've installed Debian on my laptop and am dual-booting the system. I have a partition set up as FAT32 / vfat which is mounted under both OSs in order to share data.

What I need to do is to install a database engine under both OSs which will share the data files. I'm thinking MySQL unless anyone has an alternative suggestion.

Ultimately, I need the app to launch on either platform and access the data (same data).

Can anyone advise how to set this up, please?

Many thanks.

Paul

I'd be surprised it his works; try asking here:
