Am 12. Dez, 2014 schwätzte Keith Smith so: moin moin Keith, Your server isn't dedicated to MySQL, so don't go for max recommended. Determine how much active InnoDB data you'll have and allot a bit more than that or as much memory as isn't being used for other apps, whichever is smaller. http://www.percona.com/blog/2007/11/03/choosing-innodb_buffer_pool_size/ ciao, der.hans > Hi, > > I'm working on a dual quad server with 16GB RAM.
