RussianBegin by alter your configuration using 60% of available RAM for innodb_buffer_pool_size. By available i mean how much RAM can you dedicate to database. Of-course if your server runs only MySQL then 60% of physical RAM ( i whould have set it to 10G for start). The program you execute just calculate the database size (data and indexes) and make you the 32G suggestion. In order not to overflow your memory use this site: http://www.mysqlcalculator.com/
How to improve DB configuration
Question
I have a MySQL 5.5 database, with 58 tables, ~14,188,772 rows, 19.9 GB in size. I want to mention that 19.5 GB of those is in one table.
I've never changed the configuration, but after recent performance issues, I stumbled across the variable everyone seems to mention first: innodb_buffer_pool_size. Everywhere I looked I saw its value set to multiple GB's, then I checked my own, and it's (the default) 128 MB.
I found a query in another thread that aims to calculate the right buffer pool size. I ran this query and it told me that 32 GB would be the right amount in my case. On the other hand, that thread calls 20 GB enourmous. I have 16 GB RAM in the server, does this mean I need 32+ for the DB to function optimally?
This worries me I'm running a hugely misconfigured database. Can someone enlighten me about what one usually needs to change in a DB configuration? The settings that need "fiddling" to get right, the things that I should never touch?
