We're having some serious problems with concurrent queries. This is a dual-processor amd64 machine with 16GB RAM, running NetBSD and MySQL 4.0.25. key_buffer_size is 3GB.
When I have a long running query going, otherwise short queries take a very very long time to execute. For example, I have insert ignore into trimble.old_crumb select * from trimble.crumba_rolled which is appending a lot of 'live' data to an 'archive' table. Meanwhile, I'm trying to execute INSERT IGNORE INTO link_area (link_ID, dir_Travel, area_ID) VALUES (20202178, 'F', 21014195); This latter query is taking between 6 and 45 *seconds* to run. Yow! mysql> explain link_area; +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | link_ID | bigint(20) | | PRI | 0 | | | dir_Travel | char(1) | | PRI | | | | area_ID | int(11) | | MUL | 0 | | +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ help? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
