Hello, I have a large database with a lot of queries and was trying to
tune MySQL to get the best performance. I was reading the manuals and it
said to set the key_buffer_size to the best value, you take the first
two of the following values and divide by each other. I believe it said
you should get less then 1%. I was not able to figure out what the best
setting for me to be using was, so I am looking for help. Here are the
values:

| Key_read_requests        | 2983998650 |
| Key_reads                | 2139560    |
| Key_write_requests       | 744067782  |
| Key_writes               | 351704288  |

The machine has 2 gigs of ram and currently the key_buffer_size is set
to 800M. I was wondering if I should increase or decrease the value to
get the best performance gain.

Also what is the "have_raid" setting used only when software raid is in
effect? and what is a typical query_buffer_size for a database that does
about 100 inserts a second?

Thanks
