[snip] ...big... [/snip] We are running OpenBSD servers utilizing a dual Xeon processor architecture with a 1TB RAID. We have a database using MyISAM tables...here are some stats from phpMyAdmin on one database on this server -- 20 table(s) Sum 347,092,085 -- 149.6 GB
Two tablea in this database -- tblClass10 128,310,773 MyISAM 40.3 GB tblClass11 205,420,404 MyISAM 97.4 GB We do experience delays in performing some complex queries, but even in these cases MySQL consumes less than 50% of server resources during processing. We have a set of complex queries that takes approximately 30-45 minutes when run each week, including UPDATES. Big is only determined by 2 things in my experience, physical resources and the ability to manage the database well. There are several companies (Yahoo comes to mind IIRC) that have MySQL databases far larger and more complex than the ones I use each day. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
