Performance Tuning Best Practices for MySQL

Google TechTalks April 28, 2006 Jay Pipes Jay Pipes is a co-author of the recently published Pro MySQL (Apress, 2005), which covers all of the newest MySQL 5 features, as well as in-depth discussion and analysis of the MySQL server architecture, storage engines, transaction procesing, benchmarking, and advanced SQL scenarios. You can also see his name on articles appearing in Linux Magazine and can read more articles about MySQL at his website. ABSTRACT Learn where to best focus your attention when tuning the performance of your applications and database servers, and how to effectively find the "low hanging fruit" on the tree of bottlenecks. It's not rocket science, but with a bit of acquired skill and experience, and of course good habits, you too can do this magic! Jay Pipes is MySQL's Community Relations Manager for North America.

Thought you should know that I'm learning to play the bass in this new band I'm playing with. I'm only going to play it when there isn't a keyboard part. That's bad though, right? Bad.... ass.
