When I load stuff into mysql it goes into three files called idb (well, 2/3
are indixes). Is the location of these files restircted? Can they be
separated? (ie different data, different dbs). Can they be ported to another
machine without taking an entire day to load the data fresh from text to
mysql? eg, I can give someone an MS Access mdb file and they can run it as is.
