Where does MySQL store it database files

[mister_v]

Hi,

does anyone knowns where MySQL stores the database files?

Thanks,

[chris]

This is set by datadir in my.cf (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) in Linux,
or my.ini (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini) in Windows

Standard it is in Linux:
datadir = /var/lib/mysql

in Windows:
datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/"
