| Anyone around care to help me tweak my my.cnf file for MySQL? I think I've optimized my C code as much as I can, but I still think that this'd give me a bit of a boost. The database has a single connection from the client, takes a lot of data (about 2000 * 13 entries per minute) and no queries except for adding entries. If anyone cares to help, I can post more details. | |

| Sorry. I'm not into micro-optimization. You could use a setup that does absolutely no checking of anything, but that's sacrificing safety for speed. (Which you've already done in using MySQL at all...) | |

| yea i dont know if you can actually optimise the app that way.. wierd.. the only thing i can see a a possilble means of optimisation is load balancing.. and that too, its not the job of the programmer but the administrator. | |
