MySQL should have no problems running on your system, and if it runs better on another box, that would indicate a configuration problem or background processes clogging up the works. If you post your my.cnf file, someone here might be able to rule out the former.

I'm an experience programmer with SQL based database, but know nothing about mySql. I'm setting up a single user database to be accessed with some Perl programs, with one main table, which will contain about 3 million lines. I'm running on an Athlon 1250 with 384meg ram, and finding the response time too slow. Just getting a count of the number of records by typing in an SQL query [not using Perl] takes over a minute, also when access is going on, I can't do anything else on them machine like access the web, it becomes too slow to be usable. Am I better setting up the database on another computer and accessing it through TCP/IP. I have available a spare machine which is a Celeron 450. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
