I'd like to point out that I'm pretty sure you sent the reply to me directly - I don't think it ever reached this list. That probably explains the lack of "bytes" ;-) > There are a lot of threads about setting up MySQL for the best performance. >This might help to solve the problem. > >What I'd like to see is a web page that has a MySQL/InnoDb configuration calculator >where you simply enter the specifics of your hardware (like amount of RAM, # >processors), # of connections, operating system, and database size, and it would tell >you how best to configure the cnf file.

It would also help avoid confusion of the inconsistent documentation. I don't mean to make any doc authors feel bad but there's something that don't match up on the InnoDB setup page. >The web page could be written in PHP and is easy enough to implement and the benefits >would be enormous when you consider the # of MySQL sites out there that could use it. No kidding! Doubtless it would be worth it just to lower the noise level on the list. >Ok, what do you think. Will this idea fly? I hope so :-) I do not know PHP but if there's some way I can help with this I'd be willing to try and pitch in. If there's at least one or 2 gurus out there would could answer questions one at a time, I could maybe start by making a list of what the page needs and what it should do for at least some of the values. If you'd like, I could write a static page with forms for the server-info to save some PHP coder at least that much time. What do you think? >Brent > >Heikki, are you listening? :-) Presuming that Heikki is some authoritative soul, I'd like to repeat that question :-) ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
