Hi Lukas,
In that case, such as Adarsh has said, you can configure until 70% of your
RAM for innodb_buffer_pool_size.
In your case, with 3GB RAM, I suggest you to configure until 2GB for MySQL:
Minimal for MyISAM (Maybe 32MB), and the rest for InnoDB. Your problem will
be loading data. Maybe your application will work slowly loading data
because there are more data than RAM memory.
Executing the following script, you can see your optimal buffer size for
InnoDB with your data.
SELECT CONCAT(ROUND(KBS/POWER(1024,
IF(PowerOf1024<0,0,IF(PowerOf1024>3,0,PowerOf1024)))+0.49999),
SUBSTR(' KMG',IF(PowerOf1024<0,0,
IF(PowerOf1024>3,0,PowerOf1024))+1,1)) recommended_innodb_buffer_pool_size
FROM (SELECT SUM(data_length+index_length) KBS FROM
information_schema.tables
WHERE engine='InnoDB') A,
(SELECT 3 PowerOf1024) B;
SELECT CONCAT(CEILING(RIBPS/POWER(1024,pw)),SUBSTR(' KMGT',pw+1,1))
Recommended_InnoDB_Buffer_Pool_Size FROM
(
SELECT RIBPS,FLOOR(LOG(RIBPS)/LOG(1024)) pw
FROM
(
SELECT SUM(data_length+index_length)*1.1*growth RIBPS
FROM information_schema.tables AAA,
(SELECT 1 growth) BBB
WHERE ENGINE='InnoDB'
) AA
) A;
Good luck!
Regards,
Antonio.
