[Please CC: directly to me, I'm not subscribed] Hi,
maybe a pointer to the documentation is sufficient, but does mysqld uses linux-threads or processes? And is there way to control them? After I start up mysqld I see 3 processes with ps. After some time (e.h. 12 hours) I spotted about 24 (!) of them. I've enabled sql logging and see that only every few seconds requests are comming, even more time. I never see the number if processes shrinking and I don't remember setting a limit somewhere (compared to apache where I can control this). On http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/y/MySQL_threads.html I found "Every connection has its own thread." A few senteces above on this page there were talks about tcp/ip, but I'm only using sockets for the whole time, so this applies there too? How long is the life-time of a connection if there's no request comming anymore? The mysqld is acesssed with PHP and I'm using normal mysql_connect() so connections aren't persisten so they should go after some time? thx for any hints, - Markus --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
