I'm working on fine tuning the Server Parameters for a machine (with 2 GB of RAM). The database has a fair number of tables. Many of them are full of blobs. The version of our production MySQL is: 4.0.20-pc-linux-i686.
In trying to decide on some of the buffer variables I've seen some very desparate choices with a couple of them. They are: read_buff_size, sort_buffer_size, read_rnd_buffer_size. Many people have these set rather high (like 128M+). But I read somewhere that these settings are PER CONNECTION and not for the server itself. If that is so - shouldn't they be more like 8M, 8M & 6M ?? Are there other variables that are PER CONNECTION and not for the whole server that I need to re-think? thanks, erin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
