Hi all, We have a Mysql 4.0.24 running on FreeBSD 4.11
Yesterday server started to refuse new connections, while the established connections did function properly. I discovered that the problems start when the number of open tables reaches 20, the table_cache size is 64. I also discovered that the server does not close the tables automatically, e.g. if you open two windows and start mysql -u root in both, then run "SHOW OPEN TABLES" in one window, it will display 0 open tables. Then you run "USE <database>" in the second window, and SHOW OPEN TABLES in the first will display 8 open tables. But when you exit from mysql client in the second window, the SHOW OPEN TABLES in the first one still shows 8 open tables, and this number grows after each reconnect to any of the databases on the server. We have several databases with small tables (~1000 rows) which are SELECTed and UPDATED every 10 seconds, and one big table (~1000000 rows) into which the records are INSERTed several times an hour. The number of concurrent connections is rather small - usually no more then 2-3 connections. What can be wrong and how can we fix the problem? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
