Hi James, Many of the questions on this list are answered by people like myself who are users of MySQL. We are busy trying to run our own servers and put food on the table. That being said, you are wondering why your question did not get an answer, it may be the length of the message and the not-very-specific question.
My guess is this one will get more answers as you asked 'where can I find the resources to help myself'. I would recommend starting with a good sysadmin book (there are many) such as: Unix System Administration Handbook, Prentice Hall This will help you manage system resources. Futhurmore on MySQL, the manual is an excellent source of information. Have you read all the information about tunable parameters in the manual? There is lots of it. Then when you have a specific question post it here. Addntl books on MySQL: MySQL by Paul Dubois from New Riders is a standard Core MySQL by Leon Atkinson Prentice Hall (Just out this year) and excellent resource and goes beyond Paul's book but and it is newer (despite the numerous spelling errors in the examples and the text). Also there are web resources: http://www.mysql.com/portal/books http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/52/ Articles on MySQL in the portal section of the web site: http://www.mysql.com/portal/development/html/development-61-1.html Also one last point, time is money. If you are using MySQL in a commercial venture purchasing a support contract would be wise. They will help (at anything but the most basic level) to tune your system and the higher levels they will do it for you! The MySQL support contract is by far the best money I have ever spent on software! Best of luck and I hope this helped, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Riordon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 9:56 PM Subject: Re: Tweaking MySQL on a RaQ (or any server) Help please. > At 20:54 -0500 02/04/2002, I whispered: > > >Hi all, > > > > A couple of weeks back you may remember that I was asking > >about setting up a new client on our server that ran around 35GB in > >bandwidth per month mostly from MySQL queries.
