There is almost no VM overhead these days. mySQL is disk I/O bound, not CPU bound. With VMWare you can setup your partitions to be raw disks (not virtual disk files) so you get native I/O. If you were to get some SSD's, I bet you would even see some significant performance increase too even over a

Hi Jerry, let's say that support for agents on windows I leave it for later versions. Seriously, apart from the certification books I never encountered one windows installation based on named pipes in 9 years. I would consider quite safe non supporting windows named pipes at this stage. thanks fo

I've always had a single physical server that is the qc mysql database for all our applications but it's now up to 85 schemas so I want to break it up along the same lines as production (where there's redundant pools of mysql servers by application class). my basic question is whether it's better
