Hi All, I have a question for you all.
Working with 2 innodb tables. One is a table of cdrs (call detail records) with 33 columns and 7 million + rows. Second table is a clone of the first, meant as a "work" table. >From the mysql command line client, I gave the query : insert into table2 select * from table1 where time_epoch between xx and yy; (I did not do a BEGIN/COMMIT) Time_epoch is a numeric field which is indexed. This took 13+ minutes for 1,130,000 records. It seems to me that 13 minutes is a little high. During this time, a "load data infile" command into table1 (using begin/commit) was stalled out waiting for the the "insert into table2...." The "load data infile" command - 1110 This is a HP 1U server, dual P4 3 Gig, 4 GB of ram, optimized for disk IO. Hyperthreading is enabled. This is running suse 9.3, 2.6.11.4-20a-smp kernel. Raw .idb files : 11G comp_cdr.ibd (table1 above) 1.1G temp_comp_cdr.ibd (table2 above) Mysql is running with almost 2 GB ram, no swapping seems to be going on...
