This may be a silly question but what can be done to stop load-intensive MySQL processes taking down a server? Things like adding fulltext indexes to very large tables, or selects on very large (multi-million-row) tables just completely kill the box until they complete.
I don't mind how long these things take but the box shouldn't become unresponsive while they are running. -- Tim Fountain http://www.tfountain.co.uk/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
