Hi all
I've recently moved a database to MySQL from MSSQL, and am running it on a Windows 2000 Server.
Can anybody advise me on the best method for running regular maintenance tasks (i.e. optimize and analyze)?
First, I would question that you even need to optimize and analyze "on a regular
basis", as you write -- this is normally only done once you spot slowdowns or
when you positively know that some major update (like deletion of many records)
has taken place.
Runnning a CHECK should on the other hand be a part of the daily or weekly routine.
I assumed I would be best creating a batch file containing and running 'myisamchk ...' line-by-line, via Windows scheduled tasks, but I don't appear to be having much luck.
NEVER run myisamchk while the server is also running! myisamchk is a program to be used off-line.
Instead, consider placing lines a la
CHECK TABLE mydb.mytable
into a file called check.sql, then running the command
mysql -u username -ppassword < check.sql
as you feel you need.

Any assistance or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
