Without setting up replication, you could use 'UPDATE LOW PRIORITY': http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/P/UPDATE.html
If you do setup replication, you can set the replica database to use low priority updates too by using the --low-priority-updates option to mysqld: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Command-line_options.html You should try both of these before switching to innodb as the performance is not as fast as myisam. -Marc Ken Menzel wrote: > > Hi, > There is no way to kill slow queries autmatically unless you were to > write a script (maybe in perl or php?) to do this job.
