MySQL is not my thing, yet I need to fine-tune one of our servers.
Here are the requirements/specs:
- The MySQL server has only one
significant database - We only have one "type" of application connected to it, and not many instances at the same time are connected to it : at most 15. (these applications are XMPP bots)
- These application have a non-blocking
IO, which means that they never
"wait" on the DB server and continue
dealing with incoming requests while
the DB queries are being processed.
It implies that sometime one instance
of this application can have several
(a lot!) connections to the database
server (specially if some queries are
slow)- All the queries are using indices
- Our host machine only runs MySQL. It's a Xen instance (@slicehost) with 2GB of RAM.
- We use InnoDB table because we need some basic transactions, but we could probably switch to MyISAM if this had a real impact on performance.
As it is configured right now, our MySQL server slowly starts to eat the all the available memory (we use collectd, here is a graph). At some point (after a few days/weeks), it stops performing queries (it stopped this night for 2 hours, and I had to restart the MySQL server : see 2nd image) :
(sorry, new usrs can't post images, and only 1 hyperlink :/)

You probably shouldn't consider MyISAM, INNODB will work for you. MyISAM is maybe faster when it comes to
SELECTbut (for example) it locks your full table on updates.As for INNODB:
innodb_buffer_pool_size(we use roughly 60-70% of our memory)innodb_log_file_sizeinnodb_log_buffer_sizeinnodb_flush_log_at_trx_commitinnodb_thread_concurrencyinnodb_flush_method=O_DIRECTinnodb_file_per_tableGreat reads:
On a side note:
EXPLAINto make sure the index is really being used
