MYSQL Accounting Table Size?
My Mysql database is about 50 megs right now.. because of the accounting table. How large does most people let it get before rolling it? I Guess other people will just roll it on a Time/Date basis in cron.. But what if I want to keep it for a year so I can pull stats out of it? Can it get to a couple of gig without problems? What is everyone else doing? Thanx Cris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

My radacct table is over 500 MB / 1.3 million records right now. For now I'm just letting it grow. Make sure you have plenty of RAM though. If not, the database will become slow to query / insert and radius will stop dropping packets. Keith Yoder - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

What is everyone else doing? I 've got a 2.4GB innodb file with no problems. Though i would strongly recommend against maintaining full accounting for a year on your main radacct table. You could move old accounting (a few months old) to a different radacct table if you want, or you could just keep aggregated accounting on a different table for statistical purposes. The reason is that the larger your table, the more your indexes wont work correctly (a lot of rows for the same username, sessionid etc). -- Kostas Kalevras Network Operations Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Technical University of Athens, Greece Work Phone: +30 210 7721861 'Go back to the shadow' Gandalf - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
