That's how MyISAM works -- it uses table locks for everything. Given that fact, if it didn't lock the table for reading, that would allow other clients to update the table at the same time -- leading to disastrous results. >I don't know why but it's very very annoying. >1% of my query are search ones. >Theses queries are slow, too slow. > >So i'm thinking about splitting my table to lot of little tables. >Can i have around 5000 Tables under the same database ? >Or should i keep my big table and do not split ? You might want to try converting the table to InnoDB instead. That's a lot easier to try that creating thousands of tables. > >Thanks >David > >Config : >Mysql 3.23.45 ( tar.gz binary ) >Linux Red-hat 7.1 >kernel 2.4.19 >1Go ram --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
