I have a slave server that is not heavily loaded. I also have some mitigating circumstance that prevent me from being allowed to replace MySQL with Percona.
My dilemma is that Percona is a 'drop in replacement' for MySQL -- installing Percona 'takes over' the command 'mysql', for example.
After searching online for quite a while (perhaps using the wrong keywords), I have not been able to find a way to install or compile Percona & MySQL so that they both run on the same server (different ports, maybe?).
Is this possible? Are there doc.s, links, etc. that I should read (RTM)?
Of note: this is on a Linux box (openSUSE)
