ISAM tables are cut off at 4gb of data MYISAM / INNODB /BDB have a filesystem limit. I suggest to limit the maximum size of data file: find out if reiserfs can set a limit on files sizes.

Sunil- Seems the easiest way to restrict the size of everything except privilege tables is to use nothing but InnoDB tables. You can set the default table type using --default-table-type=InnoDB when launching mysqld. If you're not keen on that, you may want to look into using a quota on your mys

Oganes, are your really using disk partitions as InnoDB data files? If you use raw disk partitions, then the operating system may put a limit on the number of them, for example, 16. But usually InnoDB data files will be just ordinary files of the file system. The number of data files is restrict

I disagree. The 4GB slowdown is usualy caused by indexing problems associated with the OS having increased overhead when looking up and inserting data. I have eliminated this slowdown in Solaris and Linux be re-indexing the entire database once it becomes larger then 4GB. This fixes the problem

Re: Database Size Limit

2002-01-12 Thread Benjamin Arai
The size limitation is becauseof the operating system parameters. In order to use tables larger then 3 GB, use either Redhat 7.2 or Solaris 8. These operating systems allow file sizes greater then 2 GB. For the most part I achievedtables sizes using these operating system of greater the 50 GB.

This is speculation: They're slower because many operations have to be done using 64 bit values rather than 32 bit values. You set the flag by setting the max data size when creating the table. You can also alter this after the table is created with ALTER TABLE. The doc suggests you're settin
