Currently our MySQL server runs around 20-30 queries per second. The upper management decided they wanted to add about 4 times the customers in the next two or three weeks. I'm worried that MySQL on this particular box won't be able to handle the load of around 100-120 queries per second. Not to mention the CGI scripts are also getting run on the same box with apache.
The system has 1gb of RAM, 1 Pentium III 700Mhz, and some ultrascsi HDs (no raid), running Red Hat 7.1 and Linux 2.4.6. What are my options here? Replication? I not sure about that since the box is about 60-70% select and the rest inserts and deletes. Won't I lose "real-time" data. I not familiar with any type of load balancing with MySQL? SQL Relay? I also thought of separating the Apache server and MySQL server. I'll take any ideas. I need them pretty bad. -Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
