mysql的多实例有两种方式可以实现，两种方式各有利弊。
第一种是使用多个配置文件启动不同的进程来实现多实例，这种方式的优势逻辑简单，配置简单，缺点是管理起来不太方便。
第二种是通过官方自带的mysqld_multi使用单独的配置文件来实现多实例，这种方式定制每个实例的配置不太方面，优点是管理起来很方便，集中管理。
下面就分别来实战这两种多实例的安装和管理
环境介绍：
mysql 版本：5.1.50
操作系统：SUSE 11
mysql实例数：3个
实例占用端口分别为：3306、3307、3308

或者采用一条命令的形式：

大家在管理多实例的话可以使用mysqlmanager实例管理器，管理器来会比较方面，限于篇幅，这里就不在多做介绍！
