title: can i share the same mysql db between xampp and mamp (mac amp)?
body: <p>i'm doing some test with xampp and mamp (on macos x snow leopard), sometime i switch between them just to play around , the issue that each of them have their own db in separated location :</p>
  
  <pre><code>xampp in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/ 
  mamp in /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't want to deal with 2 separated mysql db data, i just want to have one , so i can share it to both xampp and mamp (not at the same time). I can update my db without worrying to update another db. Is this implementation is possible ? Does anyone know how to do it without any conflict ? </p>
  
  <p>i'm using mac (so it's mamp), but this can be implemented on other system as well.</p>
