Whoa! I never realized Toad did that. Man that is one robust program. I'm half minded to switch away from 'the Yog'... especially for FREE! Yeah, and it does do the sticky wires!! It only guessed some of them, but at least it's something. It seems to be missing an "auto arrange" kind of feature so

Toad for MySQL can do the diagramming piece...but, it looks and feels like you might have some of the same frustrations with it as well. But, another tool worth exploring nonetheless. On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 2:17 PM, Daevid Vincent wrote: > Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I've written

Index Caching with Merge Engine

2011-04-07 Thread James W. McKelvey
We are currently evaluating the merge engine. Right now we create and preload several index caches. But what is the best way to approach this with a merged table? Do I create a single index cache and assign all of the shards to it? Or do I create a separate index cache for each shard? I didn
