MySQL Performance with large data

2009-11-24 Thread Manish Ranjan (Stigasoft)
Hi,

 

I am using MySQL 5.0.45 in production environment. One of my tables (using
MyISAM Engine) is expected to have around 4 billion records and each record
will have 1867 bytes of data. All fields in this table are of character data
type. I have 8 GB RAM on the server, RAID 5 with 750 GB storage space
available and quad core processor. 

My question is whether MySQL will be able to handle queries on this amount
of data? What all things I need to consider here? 

Thank you.

Thank you Johan.

 

The table will be read only. There will be two steps - first to get the
count using search conditions and then to get data from some columns based
on those search conditions. The fields will be indexed as per search
requirements.

The amount and type of data is less the issue than the amount and type of
queries is :-) The machine you've described should be able to handle quite a
bit of load, though, if well-tuned.
