Arun, Unfortunately, that link contains the exact same info as does the mysql.com page. There's almost no explaination there of what any of the output means. I'm sure that it's really useful stuff but I don't have a starting point. Can someone point me in the right direction (a book or website) or explain briefly what I'm seeing in the BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY section?
Brief intro, I set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 128M in the my.cnf file. A quick peek at show variables confirms this value... ---------------------- BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY ---------------------- Total memory allocated 152389988; in additional pool allocated 1048576 Buffer pool size 8192 Free buffers 0 Database pages 7947 Modified db pages 0 Pending reads 0 Pending writes: LRU 0, flush list 0, single page 0 Pages read 20345325, created 9857, written 763089 0.00 reads/s, 0.00 creates/s, 0.00 writes/s Buffer pool hit rate 1000 / 1000 Why does it say the buffer pool size is only 8M? Shouldn't it be 128M? Also, could someone explain the hit rate? I remember seeing in someone's recent post that the 1000/1000 is good, but I don't know what that means.
