Does MySQL need to be run as a service?
Hello, I'm getting ready for a third attempt at trying to setup a server to run on the same system as EQ. Anyways, I was wondering if during the MySQL install, is it necessary to install it as a windows service? Doing this really seems to slow down my OS(Win XP Media Center Edition) when loading up. I'f it was an option I'd rather start it up myself when I want to play, since I use my laptop for many other non related things.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
