MySQL Memory Leak
I appear to have a memory leak problem caused by mysql
I currently have 10 instances of
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file ...
running but not actually doing anything. These have been running since the 9th (last time I restarted mysql)
There are 2 that if you trace process on them are doing something...
Process 565 has a subprocess of 567 and then 567 has the rest as subprocesses. But none of those subprocesses are running mysql commands - or doing anything other than eating memory. When I restart the server, applications are using 0.5Gb Memory then that creeps up to currently using 1.1Gb. So what are those dead process and why are they hanging around?

MySQL With C++ Causes Memory Leak?
The garbage collector tells me it's using the same amount of memory, but the Task Manager shows it using 4-10KB more each second. Any ideas? If i remove all references to the actual datareader then the mem usage is stable, but as soon as it starts to return records then the leak appears. Code:

Memory Leak?
I am writing a program using the C API which slows down then finally crashes because there is a memory leak. I have determined that the memory leak happens because the API function mysql_free_result() doesn't actually free the result. The memory usage immediately before and after the call to mysql_free_result is identical. I am using MySQL 5.0 on Ubuntu Linux. In order to reproduce the error, compile the following C program using either gcc or g++ using the following commands: Code:

Libmysql.dll V5.1 Memory Leak
In working with large files and libmysql.dll (not libmysqld.dll) I am discovering that resources are not released when MySQL_Close() is called for the last thread. My Application reads from one table and writes to another using a single TRANSACTION. The target table size is about 600MB. Memory increases steadily up to about 1.2 GB as this process progresses, and is only released when the dll is unloaded from memory by closing the app. I have triple checked my application and it is not responsible. What could the dll be holding on to and how can I get it to release that memory if not a memory leak?

Memory Usage :: Swap Memory Not Released?
We have Mysql 5.0 running on RH linux. We have noticed that the swap memory increases but never gets released unless we reboot the server every 2-3 weeks. How would I know whats using this swap memory? Second question which I think maybe related to the first is that mysql is using a lot of memory when I do a top. Is there a way to limit the memory usage of mysql? I have a large table in mysql about 7 GB and I have 8 GB physical memory and swam is set to use 2GB.

Mysql On Flash-memory
I have a question about flash-memory lifespan. My database consists of 1 table, the table has 50 fields of 10 bytes each, thus each record will have 500bytes. There are 1000 records in the table, so roughly the table will have a size of 0.5MByte. The system will update the record sequentially, one record is updated per second. That is 3600 update per hour or 86400 per day. If I store this database on a 64MB flash-memory card then how long does the card last before wearing out.

MySQL 4.0.13 Memory Problem
I want to get your opinions on how to increase available/free memory and performance on a heavy volume database server. I have MySQL 4.0.13 running on RH 7.2 replicated to another RH 7.2 using same MySQL version. Recently our master database server (2 AMD Cpu + 2Gb memory + 2Gb swap space) started to suffer from memory outages because of heavy load. During day available free memory is changing from 200Mb to 5Mb and when available memory reaches to 5Mb MySQL starts to give 'Too many connections' messages. Db server is working with 45-70 query/second and more than 25,712 connection per hour. There are active 13-18 threads serving databases. To increase available free memory I've did following : 1- Optimized all tables 2- Removed unneccessary/old indexes 3- Moved unused databases to replication server 4- Increased key_buffer_size from 8Mb to 16Mb This changes helped a bit but still memory is a problem for MySQL. Average MySQL thread used to consume 100-120 Mb memory before changes, now it is consuming 60-70Mb per thread. What should I do to prevent 'too many connections' messages and have more memory available on database servers? Should I remove more indexes from tables? Should I increase key_buffer_size to 32Mb or more? Key_buffer_size doesn't look like a problem since key efficiency looks 100% most of the time.

Memory Alignment In MySQL
CREATE TABLE my table (coll_a INT NOT NULL, coll_b SMALLINT, coll_c SMALLINT, INDEX b_index (coll_b) ); Above is the table I will created. I declare coll_b and coll_c, which together will cose me 4 bytes in one row. Is it? What if I declare both of them as INT, will it cost me more memory? How about the memory needed for the index b_index? Not sure how memory alignment will affect MySQL.

MySQL And Memory Consumption
I've done a new install on a Freebsd server (5.1), using the latest ports of MySql 4.1. Everything seems to work great. However when I do a "top", I notice that Mysql is consuming around 321M of memory. This is is a virtually empty database with nothing loaded into it yet. Everything seems to be performing fine. Its just that I don't ever remember MySql using this much memory just after a new installation.

Mysql Is Not Using ENOUGH Memory On Linux
Running mysql 3.23.56-1.9 (yes , upgrading soon!) on red hat. Our database: - data is 5GB or so - has approx 2GB of indices We have 4GB of memory on the machine. At least 2.5GB of that is free+cached [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock set-variable = key_buffer=500M set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M set-variable = table_cache=600 set-variable = join_buffer=1M set-variable = thread_cache = 8 set-variable = sort_buffer =4M set-variable = record_buffer=4M set-variable = thread_cache_size = 64 set-variable = thread_concurrency=8 set-variable = max_allowed_packet = 16M set-variable = tmp_table_size = 64M But, no matter how much memory I set for key_buffer in /etc/my.cnf, mysql seems to use very little of it after running millions of queries: 14951 mysql 15 0 226M 221M 1308 S 3.3 5.5 89:55 0 mysqld

Mysql Eating Big Chunks Of Memory
I'm running version 4.0.16 on solaris 8 as the backend for a web site serving around 12 million pages impressions a month. The performance of the server is monitored using orcollator. I'm finding that the memory usage on the server remains pretty constant for weeks at a time at around 300 Meg but then every once in a while the size of the mysqld process jumps anywhere between another 50 and 250 Meg. It then stays at this new size until mysql is restared (or jumps again). The memory increase appears to remain as resident according to the output of top. The site has a content management system which connects directly to the production data base as well which while it is used daily has some functionality which is only used as frequently as this problem occurs making me suspect it is the culprit. What I could really do with some advice on is - What are the most likely causes of the memory loss. - whether there are tools that allow you to see a breakdown of how the current memory is being used by mysql, or even better monitor it over time, in order to establish the source of the problem. - And if there aren't any such tools how best to approach this.

MySQL Consuming Lots Of Memory During Transactions W/ Many Statements
I am having a problem with MySQL consuming a lot of memory and eventually throwing an Out of Memory error and restarting itself. The symptoms are that swap usage continues to rise until some breaking point. The application is a typical web application w/ 2 web servers running Apache/Tomcat connecting to a dedicated DB server running only MySQL. This seems to occur as a result of running many statements in a single transaction, both against InnoDB tables and MyISAM tables. In one case, I'm writing all user actions to an audit table (MyISAM), all from a single application thread doing approximately 5K inserts (as single INSERTs on a single connection) every few seconds. In the other, I'm doing a variety of select/update/insert/delete statements against InnoDB tables, but again totaling several thousand in one transaction. Both of these problems occur even when there is relatively low activity elsewhere on the system. Code:

My.cnf Memory Specifications
In my my.cnf file, these are some of the things that are specified in [mysqld]: set-variable = key_buffer=256M set-variable = table_cache=64 set-variable = sort_buffer=512K set-variable = max_connections=1000 set-variable = thread_concurrency=10 set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=40M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=40M On FreeBSD, I only have one process running which makes this information pretty straight forward. On my linux boxes, there are many different processes running (on one box, there is 31). Does this mean that *each* of those 31 processes attempts to allocate the above amount of resources, or that the above resources are being shared between the 31 processes?

The database gets called each time with a $DBlink = new DB; and opens up a connection to the database each time. The directory originally had 200000 files in it and the program kept halting up. I split the directory up into 10000 file chunks but it still halts up after a while. My question is... am I using up all my memory or am I using up all my resources or none of the above and it's something else? I do a mysql_free_result after every query and I do a mysql_close on the link after I'm done.

Memory Table Full
I've read that memory tables are supposed to gracefully 'fallback' to the default engine when they reach a certain size, but I'm not finding that they behave that way. Within my application, I had run into situations where CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE xxxx ENGINE=Memory SELECT xxx... would result in a "The table 'xxxx' is full" error. I had to change from memory to the default engine to ensure they would work, but most of the queries were much faster when using in memory temp tables where appropriate. Is there a way to ensure MySQL will gracefully switch to another engine when the temporary table becomes too large for the heap engine?

Memory Usage Overhead
I've been analysing the memory usage of our server and each SQL thread seems to be taking up 10mb -since our site is basically a search site that means we're using 10mb per user which means with our 2gb RAM we can take around 120-200 simultaneous visitors. Other than buying more RAM, what can I do to increase the number of simultaneous connections (ie - how can I reduce memory usage?) By my Calculations we need to be able to accept around 500 simultaneous searchers to meet our target. We will also be increasing the amount of data we have - currently it is around 1.5 million records but that will be gradually increasing to around 10 million - which I'm sure will also increase the memory load on the server. Right now we have 1.4Gb Data and 380Kb overhead.
