I will have to agree on this point right here. I recently completed a MySQL training course and not only have I got my server optimised to get the most out of the hardware, but have also optimised all my large tables with correct index usage, and large queries so they are running up to 200% faster than previously. > - Consulting (fast, personalised, gain (some) knowledge through >investing). > - Support (Have issues resolved quickly by paying someone else to do >it, not necessarily gaining the knowledge for the future). > >Generally, when talking about optimising MySQL servers and applications, >I'd go for training as a first choice: best return on investment for >that particular case. Absolutely. See above.
