My $.02.As I agree SCSI has had a reputation for being a more solid enterprise type drive, everyone's mileage varies. We have moved to using all SATA drives in our newer servers. I have to admit most of our databases are smaller than what many on this list have. All our db's are under 500

We have been using the controllers built into the motherboards. I know they are not as good as some dedicated cards but they work well enough for us. I prefer the nVidia nForce4 Ultra Chipsets. They have a nice raid setup. We needed a cheap box for data server but with a lot of tempory disk

Ok I changed my connection string to use the IP of the mySql box and added my workstation to the hosts file on the server. Same problem. The tests ran at the same slow pace. I am really curious, what was the logic of adding the workstation ip to the hosts file on the server? Larry Lowry

For cost reasons I use SATA. Does the machine already have a SCSI card in it? If so I would use SCSI. If not I would give one of the newer 10k SATA drives a spin. Larry - Original Message - From: Fagyal Csongor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2004

I have to agree with Chis on the single cpu box. We have been building our own boxes using AMD Athlon 64 3400+. Make sure you get the chip with 1mb cache. The hyperchannel on these make IO so much faster. A couple of fast SATA drives in a raid config and you are ready to go. There is a new

GUID storage

Well I'm trying to move to MySQL from the MS SQL Server world. Most data elements are easy except for the uniqueidentifier. In the MySQL world what is the preferred/best way to store a uniqueidentifier? The easiest would just be a char(36). Thanks. Larry Lowry

would that be? How would one convert to binary char(16)? In what documentation would I find this? I do not know enough yet to write a UDF. Larry Lowry - Original Message - From: Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Larry Lowry [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday
