Greetings List,
We have a medium-large size database application which we are trying
to optimize and I have a few questions.
Server Specs
1 Dual Core 2.6 Ghz
2GB Ram
Database Specs
51 Tables
Min 100000 rows, Max 1000000 rows
Total size approx 2GB
My.cnf
[mysqld]
set-variable=local-infile=0
log-slow-queries=slow-queries.log
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
old_passwords=1
key_buffer = 512M
max_allowed_packet=4M
sort_buffer_size = 512M
read_buffer_size = 512M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 256M
record_buffer = 256M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 512M
thread_cache = 128
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_type = 1
query_cache_size = 32M
join_buffer = 512M
table_cache = 512
We are having trouble with certain queries which are returning
anywhere from 100000 - 300000 rows. Total query time is taking approx
1 - 2 mins depending on load. Is there anything in our conf file
which could improve our performance? Are there any hardware
recommendations that could help us improve the speed? Would more
memory help us? Any comments or recommendations are greatly
appreciated.
Thanks much.
