The following features are not supported in this release of MySQL on NetWare:
Embedded server is not supported on NetWare.
BDB is not supported on NetWare.
The -s --socket option does not work. This option is UNIX-specific.
Locking tables using the SQL function get_lock is not supported.
The -a option is not supported, instead use --autoclose to automatically close the MySQL screen.
For example, instead of:
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown -a
use the following command:
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown --autoclose
