How to tune MySQL for heavy InnoDB workload?
Here is a good article on InnoDB tuning from Sun’s Jenny Chen – she blogs a lot about MySQL, some of it is Solaris-specific (e.g. using DTrace) but the entire blog is full of interesting tidbits. Interestingly, in MySQL 5.5, you can now have multiple innodb buffer pools.
What should I tune MySQL performance after installation?
A few years ago, Stephane Combaudon wrote a blog post on Ten MySQL performance tuning settings after installation that covers the (now) older versions of MySQL: 5.1, 5.5 and 5.6. In this post, I will look into what to tune in MySQL 5.7 (with a focus on InnoDB).
How big is InnoDB log file per hour?
As we can see here, InnoDB usually writes 2.26 GB of data per hour, which exceeds the total size of the log files (2G). We can now increase the innodb_log_file_size variable and restart MySQL.
How to check MySQL engine InnoDB file size?
Alternatively, use “show engine InnoDB status” to calculate a good InnoDB log file size. There are a number of other InnoDB variables that can be further tuned:
What are the parameters of InnoDB in MySQL?
The innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit parameter controls the balance between strict ACID compliance and higher performance; The innodb_lock_wait_timeout parameter is the length of time in seconds an InnoDB transaction waits for a row lock before giving up;
What is the InnoDB _ data _ file _ path parameter?
The innodb_data_file_path parameter describes the system tablespace (the system tablespace is the storage area for the InnoDB data dictionary, the double write and change buffers and undo logs). The parameter depicts the file where data derived from InnoDB tables will be stored;
Is the InnoDB buffer pool too small in MySQL?
The InnoDB buffer pool is “…the memory area that holds cached InnoDB data for both tables and indexes.” This parameter is probably the #1 tuning parameter in MySQL. If your buffer pool is too small, then InnoDB must spend extra CPU/Disk time, loading, and unloading pages in/out of memory. This is time better spent executing your queries.
