I used to see the same kind of behavior a while back with a MySQL installation I did for a client. It turned out that what was happening was a poorly designed client/server app was touching off this really huge query (lots of rows and lots of columns across multiple tables) and then disconnecting before the result could be returned. They fixed their app and the problem went away. Drove me nuts troubleshooting it. Anyway. Make sure you don't have something similar going on. -- Peter L.

I would do a couple of things. 1) I'd develop a list of words to ignore such as and, if ,but etc. etc.. This may take time and iterations. 2) Read each file in and split on word boundaries and tally the words that are not in the exclusion list and theoretically what is left will be keywords. 3) Use the number of times that a keyword is found in each flat text file as a weight to be used later as a scoring mechanism for the search to determine relevance. 4) Write all this to a table. Once all the documents are scanned THEN build your index. Are their prebuilt modules that would develop such an index? I don't know for sure, check CPAN (www.cpan.org) and see.

Solaris 8 and gcc
Hi folks, I'm trying to compile mysql on a Solaris 8 box with gcc. When I run compile for reasons I do not understand configure thinks the g++ compiler is running as a cross compiler which it is not.

Re: heavy load configuration

The line shouldn't be a problem, I think it sits on a couple of 100 MB/s line. Well.. this is one topic I sorta specialize in. Off the bat you look like you have a machine that should be able to handle quite a load without barfing. The two areas I'd be interested in getting more metrics on would be your RAM utilization and a profile of your I/O to and from the disks where you have your tablespace. Without those metrics any advise I would give you is just crystal gazing. In the area of RAM I normally put as much RAM in a machine that can until it is can't take any more if I am running a database that is expected to deal with large queries or lots of small ones. Again, without some sort of metric to work with in terms of what your queries look like and what you actually mean by high traffic. Disk drives I like to put on some sort of RAID when I am thinking of either high throughput or a need for reliablity. Hot swap drives in a hardware raid box are the best way to go. IMHO and AFAIR Raid-5 is to be avoided for databases with a high degree of read-modify-write transactions built into the application or even just high write. With RAID-5 you pay a write penalty in terms of performance because of the fact that parity calculations take some overhead. The exception to this rule is where you have large caches front ending your RAID box. Even here there is cause for concern in the reliability arena as there have been known to be problems with data getting corrupted in a database when cache was not properly destaged after a write. I could on forever on this subject, but I'll stop here. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Peter L.
