Hi,

I'm busy creating an index on a 518505 record table on a single column which is now taking about 2 hours on the copy to tmp table process

The server is a 2gig ram Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz running on a hardware raid 5. The inno config was left as a standard install from my-medium config.

innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_log_arch_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
innodb_log_file_size = 5M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

The server is :mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.22, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386) using readline 4.3

Table stats are currently as follows:

+---------------+--------+---------+------------+--------+----------------+-------------+-----------------+--------------+-----------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+-------------------+----------+----------------+----------------------+

I'm fairly new at mysql use and optimization, but I upped the buffer_pool size already, but I don't think it affects the current query.

What can I generally do to actually make this perform?

Thanks,
Alex
