Question : Mysqld or mysqld-nt ? - Newbie question

Hi all.

Am just testing installing Mysql on various Windows boxes (NT4, 2000 and XP) and have been reading through the documentation.
I am installing MYSQL as a service - should I be using mysqld or mysqld-nt or does it not matter. It seems to work O.K with both so far?

Thanks in advance.

Answer : Mysqld or mysqld-nt ? - Newbie question

it doesn't seem to matter much in practice, but mysql.com say that mysqld-nt is an optimised binary for NT/2000/XP

the rest of the table: [from http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Which_version]

mysqld            Compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking, symbolic links, InnoDB, and BDB tables.  

mysqld-opt     Optimised binary with no support for transactional tables in version 3.23. For version 4.0, InnoDB is enabled.  

mysqld-nt       Optimised binary for NT/2000/XP with support for named pipes. You can run this version on Windows 9x/Me, but in this case no named pipes are created  and you must have TCP/IP installed.  

mysqld-max    Optimised binary with support for symbolic links, InnoDB and BDB tables.  

mysqld-max-nt  Like mysqld-max, but compiled with support for named pipes.
