you said you had 50-100 simultaneous connections to mysql?   these are 
presumably issuing various queries at overlapping times?  I find it 
pretty hard to believe its only using one processor unless all these 
queries are updates to the same table, using full table locking (myISAM 
for instance)

oh ok got it. But as i can see that with my database server it only
eats up 1 core of my core2quad processor. how can i optimize mysql to
use all 4 core of my processor?

each connection to mysql spawns a thread, however under various 
conditions the threads can block each other, including if they are 
stacking up on table locks to update the same table.


otherwise, yes, mysql is fully multithreaded, as long as you're making 
multiple queries concurrently via different connections

Hi,

What do you recommend me to do so i can optimize my database on a
multi-core processor? and i haven't got an answer for the mysql
package for centos 5 is the multi-threading supported?

Thanks!

How many tables are you querying in MySQL?

If you use MyISAM tables (still the default), only one thread can
access a table at a time, so you won't get more performance out of SMP
to accesses to the same table.

a mysql in centos 5 running in a core2duo processor and it seems that
it only uses 1 processor.
