Performance Tuning MySQL Database Server
After you have MySQL Server up and running,
some time should be set aside for tuning and performance analysis.
You may want to see Getting MySQL up and running if you haven't seen it yet.
Howto performance tune MySQL on Ubuntu or a Debian based machine.
Do these commands as an administrative user. Most of this will be done in command line with your favorite terminal - like gnome terminal or Eterm.
First: Connecting to MySQL
Open a terminal. Let's connect and see what kind of variables we're dealing with:
mysql --user=root --password=YOURMYSQLPASSWORDYou should get:
mysql >Put in:
SHOW VARIABLES;Returned will be all of the variables. You may want to remember this last command. In the future when you are looking at someone's server. It's a quick way to get started on troubleshooting or tuning.
mysqladmin variables -u root -pOR
mysqladmin extended-status -u root -p
A quick and dirty/simple report using mysqladmin:
mysqladmin extended-status -u root -p > /home/YOURDIRECTORY/mysqlxs.txt
Go to where you put it and have a look. (or just to make sure it's there: cat /home/YOURDIRECTORY/mysqlxs.txt)
Just like anything else, the more memory you throw at something, the better.
MySQL is very efficient and scalable and can actually run on very little memory.
That said, it may need more memory allocated as tables start filling up
and/or concurrant connection rates rise.
When tuning a MySQL server, the two most important variables to configure are
key_buffer_size and table_cache. (More detail later on these.)
You should first feel confident that you have
these set appropriately before trying to change any other variables.
These examples show some typical variable values for different configurations:
