I have a mysql table that I refer to a lot and needs to be quick. I set it as a HEAP table because of the speed (and HEAP tales ARE fast. zip baaannngggg!!!!). Anyway, whenever I restart the server the contents of the heap tables disappear! What the hell? But I read the manual and it seems that heap tables stay in memory and not disk.
It surprises you that HEAP tables behave as documented? :-)
The particular table I am using doesn't change very often (once every three months or so ).Is there a way that I can somehow keep the table from being erased on server restarts? Is the best way perhaps copying the table to a heap table every time the server starts up?
Exactly. Maintain a version that is a permanent table on disk, and load it into the server at startup time. You might find the --init-file server option useful for this.
