Hi.. Fairly new to mysql, in particular tuning.
I have a test mysql db, on a test server. I've got a test app that runs on multiple servers, with each test app, firing/accessing data from the central db server. the central server is on a 2GHz, 1GMem, 100G system. MySQL is the basic app. the remote/test apps are doing basic selects/inserts, with a few basic select.. group/order by. the db schema appears to be pretty straight forward, with primary/unique fields. keep in mind, i'm not a dba!!! the my.cnf file is pretty basic. there has been a modification for the "key_buffer_table" entry... my issue, is that when i examine the central mysql (show processlist) i see a number of connections (~10) with the majority being in a "sleep" status.. However, when i then check the OS, using "top", i see that mysql is running, consuming ~ 80-90% of the cpu cycles... so, i'm trying to figure out how to diagnose/solve this issue. any pointers, comments, suggestions will be greatly appreciated. this instance of mysql, is 5.x, and is running on a virtual rhel5 os, under vmware... thanks -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
