 You can move tables and databases from the database directory to other
 locations and replace them with symbolic links to the new locations.
 You might want to do this, for example, to move a database to a file
 system with more free space or increase the speed of your system by
 spreading your tables to different disk.
 
 The recommended way to do this is simply to symlink databases to a
 different disk. Symlink tables only as a last resort.
