Hello, We're using MySQL on a small local area network with an average of 4 clients hitting the database with SELECTS, INSERTS and UPDATES. We're using a Win2K file server with UDMA/100/7200 HD's and 256 MB Ram. Each client is accessing the DB through MyODBC. Actually it's a VB6 App using the OLE DB Provider for ODBC as well, so the fact that we're getting the speed we're getting says a lot about MySQL. Anyway, I've asked this question before a couple of times, but have received to replies and figure that I should just keep trying (I've looked in the manual, but have not found specifics that I need). I would like to know what would be a good basic setup for variables on the server and what I should set them to given the application of MySQL that we are using it in. Number of MaxConnections, memory allocated for indexing, etc. suggestions would be greatly appreciated so that I can have a good starting point to experiment with. ADV(Thanks)ANCE, Lee Jenkins
