Re: Need examples of companies using mysql
Unless you're going to have a LOT of users accessing a HUGE database, the system you've outlined below will be overkill (do you have any current usage statistics ? Are you using the system (is it an E450 ?) for any other applications/processes ?). It would be, if it was dedicated to mysql :) One of their concerns is load testing, which we haven't done a lot of yet. I'm confident it'll hold up, I am a little worried it may generate enough load to annoy them, but worse comes to worse we can set up a dedicated box. -- ___ __ ____ _ _ _ _ / __)( )( ) /__\( \/ )( ___) ( \( )( ___)(_ _) \__ \ )(__)( /(__)\\ / )__)) ( )__) )( (___/(__)(__)(__)\/ ()()(_)\_)() (__) I/O, I/O, it's off to work we go... - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Need examples of companies using mysql
My company is using it for all database functions. We're an online
'collection' agency and have been using it for the past 6 months (versions
3.22.23 upgraded to 3.23.36). In comparison with Borland's
"Interbase" ("Ibase"), which I supported at the late "Money Store"
corporation for all 100 of it's branches and central databases, it's far
superior (especially with the fact that you can relocate the physical files to
different storage devices via symbolic links, though I just reported a bug
with the latest version of MySQL in doing just that...).
Unless you're going to have a LOT of users accessing a HUGE database, the
system you've outlined below will be overkill (do you have any current usage
statistics ? Are you using the system (is it an E450 ?) for any other
applications/processes ?).
Our database is still pretty small, and ends up entirely in the 1 gig of RAM
we have installed in the server (so disk layout/access is not an issue yet)
but if you grow larger than that, you'll want to focus on the drive layout
and datafile locations (if you DO have an E450, make sure you have extra
SCSI controller cards installed, and spread the drives across their 'paths')
such as placing the data portion (*.MYD) on one set of drives, the 'index'
portion (*.MYI) on another, and any 'temp' files (use the $TEMP variable) on
another...
We're using Compaq 1850R's with dual Pentium2 processors and a gig of RAM
each. The MySQL datafiles are spread across the drives in an exteral Compaq
storage array (so the either of the 2 systems can 'grab' the array and take
over the database functions in case of failure, or during maintanence/upgrade
periods of one of the systems)

Re: Need examples of companies using mysql
Not sure how much use to you it would be, but my employers, Dexterus Ltd, trust my judgement enough to have adopted my recommendation to use MySQL as an "embedded" DBMS in our smallscale PC-based systems. It has been deployed in a "farm" of PC's running Linux to co-ordinate virus scanning of email, and we are using it in a number of internal systems for fault logging, change request management and project accounting. Dexterus (www.dexterus.com) is a VC-funded company set up to provide application services to the banking industry in the City of London.

Re: Need examples of companies using mysql
How are you supposed to convince people that MySQL is a worthy DBMS with boring testimonials about millions of dollars worth of dataflow and incredible fault tolerance? If you REALLY want to sell MySQL, point them to http://m4m4sex.com/, a web site that is dedicated to helping men find men for real sex encounters right now! This efficient sex-finding site is made possible by the awesome power of MySQL! Now THAT's something to tell the suits about! Seriously, I'm totally suprised at how well MySQL can handle the load. We definitely made the right choice when we picked the database system. [ PS.
