Hi all! I would like know if there are any calculatios for specifying the maximum number of the 'max_connections' value.
I understand that max_connections should be decided by the remaining RAM size of the system. But exactly how should it be actually calculated? I am currently using RHEL 5.3 32 bit and following are samples of the memory usage of my system. [root@GWM bin]# ps -eo "pcpu,vsz,rss,args" | grep mysql 0.0 5420 1172 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/GWM.pid 0.0 332592 40040 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/var/lib/mysql/GWM.err --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/GWM.pid -- socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --port=3306 0.0 4980 760 grep mysql [root@GWM bin]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 16623956 12727012 3896944 0 103668 11634904 -/+ buffers/cache: 988440 15635516 Swap: 10482404 1368 10481036 Version of mysql is , [root@GWM bin]# mysqladmin -u root --password=groundwork variables | grep version | version | 5.5.25-log | | version_comment | MySQL Community Server (GPL) | | version_compile_machine | i686 | | version_compile_os | Linux Thanks, Yu -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
