Would someone please explain how to set the number of child mysqld processes which start when mysql (mysql-standard-4.0.14-pc-linux-i686) starts up?
I am using MySQL on a memory-poor (32MB RAM) machine, and MySQL seems to hog about 10MB per child process, and there are ten (10) of them at startup. All this, and usually there is only one or two active connections. So I was thinking more like two (2) child processes would be better, but I can't seem to change it from the default (ten (10)). BTW, I experimented with the server parameters (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Server_parameters.html), but still there are at least ten (10) mysqld child process always running. Thanks for your help!
