Hi Howard, I am trying to think of ideas. I have several databases with tables over 1.4G and rows still add quickly. How about available descriptors, what are these values: | Open_tables | 2738 | | Open_files | 5013 | | Open_streams | 0 | | Opened_tables | 81542 | | Questions | 31719361 | | this is a problem, I have 81542 opened tables, this sever needs more file descriptors. (I will look at this right away!, but my server is still running pretty well.)
Maybe you could include the output from show variables and show status? How fast is your SCSI drive subsystem, I assume you are using 7200 RPM SCSI drives at least?
