MYSQL :: MySQL Slow In Windows NT4

MySQL Slow
I had downloaded a few years back mySQL v3.51 installed but never used it. Now I wanted to convert some B-TREE databases to mySQL and did some testing via ODBC to insert 70,000 records: My results:

MS ACCESS: ~60,000 msecs
MYSQL v3.51 ~18,000 msecs

Impressed with the speed, I went ahead and got the latest MySQL v5.1. Uninstalled the older version, I had nothing there to preserve, so I did a simple new install with MySQL v5.1. I noticed the size of the files and BINEXE increasted by 1,000,000%. Ok, Bulky. Not a problem.

I reran the same ODBC test, and now I got:

MYSQL v5.1: ~450,000 msecs or 7.5 freaking MINUTES!

What the hell happen? Nothing was done. I'm knew to MYSQL. I just installed it with all the defaults. I did choose "developer's machine" for the "optimizer wizard"

I can't redistribute MYSQL v3.51 and force it down people's throats! I have to use what they are using already, if already installed. Not even my current system takes 1 minute to add 70,000 records. Why 7.5 minutes? All it is simple inserts/free statements.

MySQL Very Slow.
I have this one site that slows down all my others because the queries are so massive.

For example one of these queries I use to-do a search by a user's account number. I also get the position he is at on the list, and in order to-do that I need to select ALL the rows.

For example, I filter out the other queries in php.
CODE$num = 1;
$q = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM lists');
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{

   if($r['account']=='accountNum')
   {
         print 'You are at pos. num '.$num.'<br>';
   }
   $num++;
}

Why Does MySQL So Slow
I just changed to use MySQL few days ago but it was a bad idea. My server now is running very slowly with the database. I'm using Perl5 and DBD::Mysql in my script. The system is Linux9, Apache2.

I looked at these mysql pid and saw a lot of activities (about 400) while there are more 100 users online at this moment and lots of running under a the same pid number.

MySQL Slow Log
I have the long query time set to 15 yet MySQL is still showing results with a query time of 0 in the slow query log.

It says enter time in "seconds" in the MySQL Administrator but did it mean in milliseconds??

Slow MySQL
mySQL has been running very slowly and I am getting errors. First I did 2 things I raised the ServerLimit number (apache) to allow for more connections, I also raised the max conncetions in my.cnf. I do not know if this took effect? That should have worked. But basically in phpmyadmin i get this error frequently. I am getting more traffic so I think it is that.

MySQL said: Documentation
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

Slow Response From MySQL
I was wondering if any one can help me out, I am literally tearing my
hair out with an availability search I have written.

Previously I was selecting all the records from two databases but
noticed the response time was very slow anything up to 20 secs.

I tried to streamline the search by only selecting the columns I
needed from the tables and created indexes for each of the tables for
the required rows but now the results are executing in around 50 - 60
secs, which is ultimately alot slower.

The SQL query I am using at the moment is this:

SELECT villas.id, villas.resort, villas.beds, villas.owner,
villas.air_con, villas.walk_beach, villas.walk_shop, pricing.id,
pricing.week, pricing.price, pricing.availability FROM villas LEFT
OUTER JOIN pricing ON villas.id = pricing.id WHERE pricing.week =
1073088000 AND pricing.availability = 1 AND villas.beds > 0 AND
pricing.price > 0 AND ( villas.resort = 'cala_dor' OR villas.resort =
'pollenca' ) GROUP BY villas.id ORDER BY villas.owner DESC ,
villas.beds ASC

MySQL Is Slow, Trying To Optimize
It just seems that my system is slow, adding records, etc. I tried to optimize it, saw that there was a my-medium.ini file, read that is was for medium sized system. I replaced it with my.ini (yes I did make a backup, thankfully) and restarted mysql.

Pretty much it hangs. I tried to connect with QueryBrower, did a Select Count(*) and just froze. I admit that I didn't wait for ever, yes I know I Select Count(*) takes a long time but I gave up after waiting 3x as long as I normal did. Also the logs screen froze in administrator.

MySQL Slow Starting Up
I am using a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server running IIS and MySQL 4.1. I had to restart the server the other day and it took MySQL almost 2 hours to come back up. I was watching it on my task manager and it went up to approximately 60,000k in 10k increments before I was able to access MySQL.

My CPU usage was hovering around 3% all this time. Everything else came up on the server just fine. This happens every time I have to restart my server. The reason I have to restart my server most of the time, is because MySQL locks up on me.

Is there any settings I can change that would help me here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more thing to add. I am using the default my.ini file. We have almost 100 different databases on the server and have around 20000 tables within all of these databases combined. All of these tables are InnoDB tables.

MySQL Running Very Slow
I have the following INSERT SQL, which runs very slow (For 2 full days it had not done anything) on a 2 processor Compaq machine running Suse Linux. Code:

Slow Running MySQL?
I'm hoping someone may have an idea what could be causing the slow loading pages of my web-site. I'm not positive, but I'm relatively sure that it's related to a problem with MySQL database.

I purchased a program called Sam3 for broadcasting our radio signal over the internet. The software requires the use of MySql in order to set up web pages for our web site.

The problem is, that while everything works GREAT (requests can be made from the site, songs can be searched, the history of what we've played shows up) the pages load PAINFULLY slow. Other users of this software have had no such problems so I'm at a loss.

I know from testing that the PHP script for the web pages is fine, I have plenty of bandwith both upload and download available on my DSL line, and while the computer running MySQL is behind a router I have tried plugging the DSL line DIRECTLY into the host computer and it makes no difference.

For all appearances it seems the problem is that it takes MySQL forever to gather and provide the information needed for these pages. Does anyone have any idea what I should be looking at to solve this problem?

I do not know the MySQL program at all, so I get somewhat lost when people start throwing out technical terms, but this has been really frustrating because no one else seems to have the problem and everyone so far has just told me to check the things I've already checked.

MySQL Connection Sometimes Slow
I have been developing an application in Visual Basic that accesses a MySQL database either on the local machine, or a remote machine. Locally, database connections run smoothly. However, when I try to connect to the remote system (another computer on my local network) some databases take longer to connect than others (sometimes 10 - 20 seconds).

The application usses the myvbql.dll (sorry lost the link, found it through google) wrapper around the libmysql.dll file to perform database actions. The application seems to hang when it tries to actually make the connection to the datatbase. This is only happening on the remote database server, and does not happen on every connection to that server.

Slow Mysql Select *,
I have a sql table with more then 20,000 rows in a table called summary and when I run "select * from summary" it returns a exucutions time of 0.5 seconds in php which is kinda slow if you ask me, now I know that the * type for select isnt the fastest way to fetch data but its the most convenient for me.

Remote MySQL Connection Slow
I have a website on a dedicated server that was running really slow, so I got another, much faster server and transferred the MySQL database to this server. However, now when I connect to the faster server's database using the slower server's PHP web pages, the overall page loads much slower than when the database was on the slower server.

Any ideas why this would be? Right now the host name is just an IP address. Does it need an actual resolved hostname to be fast? MySQL on the faster server is supposedly tweaked for fast service (my-huge.cnf).

Mysql 5.0 - Using My.cnf - Unix / Slow-query-log
I installed mysql 5.0 and need to set up slow-query-log and other logging options.

Here is what I did. But I dont see it working yet.

1. cd /var/db/mysql
2. chown mysql slowquery.log
3. touch /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
4. chown mysql /usr/local/etc/my.cnf

vi my.cnf

[mysqld_safe]
-u mysql
--log-slow-queries=/var/db/mysql/slowquery.log

so now when I type:

mysqladmin shutdown
and than

mysqld_safe &
my sql restarts but the log files are not being used.
also - how do I know if my my.cnf is being used at all?

Delay, Latency, Slow Mysql
I recently upgraded mysql from 3.23 to 4.0 and found that my websites using the mysql db had a 5 second delay, or latency. I searched for 2 days and found no answer to my latency problem until just a moment ago. I'd like to share the answer in case someone else finds this occurring to them as well.

I was using my real static ip in my website mysql address instead of 'localhost', localhost should have been used initially anyways. I am not real sure what my reasoning was when I initially chose to put in my static IP.

So, If you are like me and keep your stuff on your local machine, use 'localhost' instead of your static IP. At least it fixed my delay issues.

MySQL Slow: Configuration To Blame/fix?
I have MySQL 5 running on a PC, and have grown used to the startling slowness of MySQL joins. The most recent disappointment is a straightforward self-join of a not-too-big (700K rows), indexed (on very-high-cardinality column FILE) table

create table temp2 as
select a.*, b.time as time2,
from temp1 a left join temp1 b
on a.file = b.file
and timestampdiff(HOUR,a.time,b.time) = 1;

that completed in 10 hours. (Indexing resulting table took 20 minutes). If this is not a problem with the programmer, or with MySQL, could it be a result of a mismanaged installation, one that could be fixed with a judicious re-configuration/choice of MySQL options?

MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver Very Slow!
I am using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver to link three relatively small MySQL
tables to a Microsoft Access 2003 database. I am finding that the data from
the MySQL tables takes a hell of a long time to load making any kind linkage
with my Access data virtually useless.

I have the MySQL driver setup in as a USER DSN. The MySQL data is sitting
out on a server and the Access database is running locally.

Mysql -s -u Root Bmd < Db.dump2 Slow
I've been sent a dump of a database and am trying to restore it with the
command in the subject line. It's progressing, but very slowly. The
problem is that the database is 40GB.

Now if mysql is doing database-y thing like allowing access while building
tables this might be slowing it a little. Is this the case and is there any way
round the problem and slurp the the whole thing in isolation.

Background: debian sarge

mysql-server-4 4.1.11a-4sarge

I really *am* a mysql newbie - tell me I'm silly for starting at 40GB

My MySQL Back-end Works Very Slow
I have installed my MySQL Server in a Window XP platform running in a Pentium4 machine. When I access the database on the machine, it is working in a normal speed. But when I access the database from a client machine (still running in windows platform), it runs very slow.

MySQL Timing Out? Really Slow Queries, Already Indexed.
For whatever reason, MySQL does not seem to be executing. So, I ran a few stat functions and here is what I got:

Uptime: 220372
Threads: 39
Questions: 18748899
Slow queries: 808
Opens: 28723
Flush tables: 1
Open tables: 4096
Queries per second avg: 85.078

The "open tables" worries me for a few reasons. First, because it is 4kb (exactly, since it is divisible by 1024, evenly). This makes me think that maybe I am hitting a ceiling.

Second, there are a few variables in MySQL that equal this, and maybe it's a cap on something. Here are the variables that equal 4096:
query_cache_min_res_unit = 4096
table_cache = 4096
transaction_prealloc_size = 4096

Do any of those have anything to do with this? Am I even close? Are any of those values from mysql_stat a big deal?

VER VERY VERY Slow MySQL Query HELP URGENTLY NEEDED
I have the following MySQL query, but it is VERY VERY slow and seems to be crashing the server. There are 300,000+ records in the 'tracker' table.

SELECT sites.*, SUM(if(tracker.type='view',1,0)) AS numberOfViews, SUM(if(tracker.type='click',1,0)) AS numberOfClicks, SUM(tracker.revenue) AS totalRevenue FROM sites LEFT JOIN tracker ON tracker.site_id = sites.id GROUP BY sites.id ORDER BY sites.domain_name

MySQL Redhat Slow Responding To Connections
I have installed MySQL 3.53 on two RH7.3 and one RH9.0 boxes.
On one of the 7.3 and the 9.0 box, when I try to connect remotely, it
takes about 45 seconds to connect, whereas the other 7.3 box connects
almost immediately.

The fast box has standard install of 7.3 with tomcat added.
The 9.0 box is straight RH9.0 standard install.

I can't find anything in common between the slow boxes, but not on the
fast one.

Mysql Running Slow On Mandrake Linux 10.0 For AMD 64
I'm having a problem with a new machine running Mysql version 4.0.18
on the AMD64 version of Mandrake 10.0. The new machine has got 64bit
AMD processor and 2GB of RAM.

Nearly all queries(updates are especially slow) are running 20/30 or
more times slower than on an inferior(32 bit processor, 1.5GB RAM)
machine runnning Mysql 3.23.56 on mandrake 9.0.

As far as I can tell mysql is configured correctly for the power of
the machine. The my.cnf file looks like this: Code:

Slow Performance After Falling Back To MySQL 3
Yesterday I have upgraded my linux box with a pair of Xeon 1G CPU and
reinstalled everything (it was a sinle Xeon 700). The default RH9
installation comes with MySQL 3.23.54. After the reinstallation I
found the machine was not as responsive as before. (It's not very
slow, but some lagging is noticed)

I was running Mysql-max 4.0.11 and the performance was ok, except the
slowness during the peak hours, which was regarded as normal. I would
like to know the differences between Mysql 3 and 4. Is the new version
making a significant jump in performance?

I also noticed the system eats up memory faster than before. With the
old setting the system never used up 60% of physical memory, even at
extremely high loading (30+). Now it easily used up 70% of memory.

The server is running Mysql only. It's equipped with 2 Xeon 1G and 2G
of memory. The kernel version is 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP. Also attached the
my.cnf for a clearer picture: Code:

MySQL Slow To Connect To Remote Database
I was running a PHP/MySQL web site with the database on the local web server. I needed to move the database off the webserver (located in the firewall DMZ) and onto its own machine (behind the firewall on our private network)

Now when I run my web site it goes really slow. I ran mysql from the command line on the web server and connected through to the database machine behind the firewall using
webserver:/# mysql -h 192.168.1.7 -u www-data -p

After I enter the password, it takes around 5-7s before I see the mysql> prompt.

Is mysql trying to do reverse dns on the IP address and timing out? I added the machine details to /etc/hosts so it would be recognized but no improvement. Or do I have something wrong with my mysql configuration?

MySQL Slow With 4GB Memory - Tuning Required?
I am using MySQL 4.1 on Linux (IBM Open Power Server). The Server has 4GB memory, 380GB hard drive.

I have a Java based application that runs in Tomcat in a Windows environment using SQL Server. As part of a customer project I have got the application to work on Tomcat on Linux with MySQL.

Both databases have a large amount of data in some of the tables, e.g. 500,000+ records in some of the tables. Some of the tables have indexes on them.

There is a specifc part of the application that is slow when running against MySQL (10 seconds to write a record to a table with 500,000+ records in it.) The same bit of functionality running against SQL Server is instance, e.g. 2 secomds max. The code is doing an insert statement. Once the insert has taken place we need to get the ID for the inserted record. This is using SELECT MAX....... The ID column is set as the Primary Key and is indexed. Code:

User Admin In Mysql-administrator Slow On Linux
We have a MySQL 5.0.16 server installed on a RedHat 8.0 machine.
mysql-administrator v1.0.22 is installed on RH Linux FC3 from the
mysql-administrator-1.0.22a-1.rh9.i386.rpm.

Everything seems to run fine except User Administration is *extremely*
slow. If I click on "User Administration" in the sidebar, it takes
about 2 minutes (seems like forever) before the window comes back with
the infomation. All the other functions seem to function fine.

Is it because I'm using mysql-administrator on a remote host? Do I need
to move and rebuild the server to a newer Linux version? mysqlcc
doesn't have this problem at all. (It's using the libraries from MySQL
4.1 that the databases were migrated to.)

MySQL On Windows
I downloaded and installed MySQL for Windows this morning, V4.1. =
Unzipped, installed and started the server as a service, no problems. =
Installed the ODBC driver. A-OK

But, the DOC tells me I have to run "mysql_install_db.sh". So, the =
question is, how am I supposed to run shell scripts on Windows?

Mysql 4.0.20a For Windows
i installed just a few days ago the new my sql 4.0.20a server on a Windows Machine

and heart about that the feature "auto_increment = default value" will work now

now i created a new table added some fields and one field shoud be auto_increment and shoud have a default value (which means, mysql shoud then auto_increment up from the given value), but this doesn't work

i can only choose between default value or auto_increment but not both any ideas ?

MySQL 4 And Windows XP
I am having problems running mysql 4 on windows xp. Mysql 3 works fine.
However version 4 won't run. Even if I start the server with the admin panel
it shuts down again after a couple of seconds. This has only been a problem
since I wiped my hard drive and did a clean install of everything.

MySQL 5.0 On Windows 98 SE
I just downloaded MySQL 5.0 and installed it on a machine that I just did a fresh install of Windows 98 Second Edition on.

The install seemed to go smoothly, and when it was done I try to start mysqld from the command line and get this:

Can I Use MySQL With A Mac And Windows
I need to share a MySQL database with a guy that uses a Mac, but I don't know anything about the Mac environment. I use WinXP. He has a server that has MySQL loaded on it. I want to create the database, then both of us want to be able to access it or make changes to it via the web.

What type of products do I need? I figure a good MySQL reference book is a necessity. Is there some type of front end application that he can run. I think I can run Access as a front end once it is set up properly. Am I making sense?

MySQL 4 And Windows XP
I am having problems running mysql 4 on windows xp. Mysql 3 works fine.
However version 4 won't run.

Even if I start the server with the admin panel
it shuts down again after a couple of seconds. This has only been a problem
since I wiped my hard drive and did a clean install of everything.

MySQL On Windows
when i try to install mysql on my pc it works just fine until i'm near the end of the installation, the installer writes:

the security settings could not be applied
error number 2003
can't connect to mysql server on 'localhost' (10061)

i have disable my firewall... so whats the problem then..? please make an easy explanation... i'm not that good at english so i hope that you understand me...

Mysql On A Windows Box
there are two options for mysql when it comes to windows...there is a 'windows essentials' and then there is the normal download.
the documentation says the essentials package, (it's almost half the size) is the recommended one because it has all that is needed.
i don't really care if i download the biggest file size, but if i don't need to, i'll take the smaller package.

Upgrading MySQL On Windows/IIS- Help?
I am running MysQL Version 3.23.49 on a Windows IIS machine. I need to upgrade it to at least 4.0.16 (to install vBulletin 3.6).

Is there a good tutorial on how to do this? I look at the documentation on the MySQL site but I'm hoping there is more out there to help me.

As well, the docs say instead of upgrading to V5 I should upgrade to V4 instead. I'd like to have the most up to date MySQL if I can so I won't have to do the another upgrade for a while.

Mysql, Linux Or Windows?
Does mysql work on windows or it has to be on linux only?

MySQL / Windows XP SP2 Incompatibility
I've been posting the problem earlier on Microsoft newsgroups (cannot use support, because of using OEM Windows):

Windows XP SP2 Security Center stops recognizing antivirus and firewall software when I install MySQL server and GUI tools (MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser).

The only way to make the Security Center recognize the software again is to restart it using Services snap-in.

Is it a bug on Microsoft side or on MySQL team side? Are there any solutions for the problem?

Configuration:
Intel Celeron 1200 MHz / 512 MB RAM
Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2
MySQL 4.1 with the latest versions of GUI tools

Cannot Get MYSQL To Start In Windows
Here are some of the errors I receive when trying to start mysql under windows xp home edition:
