This information may not be current, but I seem to remember hearing some really nasty stories about people putting MySQL data dirs on NFS exports. I would research the appropriate documentation before attempting such a configuration. -Original Message- From: mysql-digest-help [mailto:[

Once you moved the files, did you check the ownership and permissions? I have had the same error after restoring databases from a backup, only to find the files were owned by root and the permissions were munched. Something that I have been known to do is to add another, larger disk drive, or

I would be very intested in finding out more about the hardware being used here, as well as load on the server (queries/sec, etc.), and maybe the amount of data (Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes). Twenty million records is a lot but that number in itself may not give the application the credit

RE: MySQL dead during an Access/Odbc query

2001-05-24 Thread JHDrexler
Your english is understandable so please don't apologize. The way Access/ODBC works during a 'find' operation is that Access will ask the MySQL Server for each record, one at a time, until it finds a match. This is very resource intensive and I try very hard to avoid finding records in this m
