mySQL Memory Configuration

[Jamie Sullivan]

Hello,

I am setting up a mySQL box in my development environment and have noticed that even under little usage mysql will consume a couple hundred MB's of swap space even though I have almost 1GB of apparent "free" physical memory. I am using the 'my-large.cnf' configuration file and otherwise haven't modified anything. The server is a 400Mhz sparc w/ 2GB ram and 1 SCSI disk. Can someone please provide some guidance as to whether this is normal or am I not configuring something properly.

Thanks,
