I have a small file that calls a search function at Findwhat in case Mysql locally overloads. I just put on a new partner who looks like they may call my server 40 million times a month.
I know there is some way to put a file into Ram for super fast response. Question is how do I do this? Will it still write to Mysql from the Ram Drive? What is the downside of doing this? The reason I ask this here. Is I have graphics that are loaded by Mysql and was wondering if I can do the same for them since some of these sites can call my server 10-20,000 times a day for that same graphic.

Being the first book I've ever written, it does have its weaknesses, but also has its strengths. For every configuration variable in Chapter 14, and for every status variable in Chapter 15 I went to the source to make sure I understood what was going on behind the scenes before I wrote the description. It is also the only book that I know of so far that discusses MySQL internals (I am working on another one dedicated solely to MySQL Internals). It was written in 2002, so it does focus on 3.23-4.0. However, this is not that big of a minus. Due to the strong commitment of the MySQL team to backwards compatibility, most if not almost everything the book says applies to 4.1 and 5.0. It is just that the newer versions have some new features and options that the book does not cover. -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
