Hi, My DEV server is used by many people creating apps throughout the company. Consequently, I have no insight in the efficiency or quality of their SQL. This is an accepted state of affairs.
However, 'developers' have repeatedly managed to crash mysqld because their queries are huge, don't use indexes, etc. At those times, the load on the box (dual-CPU, 4GB RAM) is 23, and I can't even ssh into it anymore. Is there a way to kill queries automatically if they take longer than x seconds to complete? I'm not sure (form the documentation) if this is where 'interactive_timeout' can be used. Lowering max_join_size could be an option too (it's currently 100,000,000), but I don't want to break people's existing apps that may rely on this hight join size.
