When you upgraded from 4.1 to 5.0, did you do an in-place upgrade, or mysqldump your data and then re-import?
As replied to Sebastian's post, in-place.
Try using either mysqldump or mysql-administrator to dump out your data to an .sql file. Then re-import all of your data into 5.x. You will see a significant difference in your query speeds once you do this.
Will this still hold true, even if I dump data out of MySQL 5 and re-import it, or do I need to downgrade first?
As to your query cache, make sure that it's on (on by default) and, based on your tables, either your MyISAM key_buffer_size or your InnoDB buffer_pool_size are correct for your server's amount of RAM.
I guess I will have to check if 8MB is good on 500MB RAM. I did some research back when messing with 4.1, so a good time to do it again. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
