MySQL Forge

~ François Schiettecatte

I came across MySQL Forge a few days ago when Brian Moon was asking about sample my.cnf configuration files for MySQL. The samples provided in the distribution are very old, very, very old, and more up-to-dates ones are needed.

So I uploaded a copy of the my.cnf configuration file which I have used for database servers sporting 16GB of RAM. You can check out all the same my.cnf which have been uploaded here.

I have to admit mine is sparsely commented, I usually just point to the relevant place in the MySQL documentation, but it does the job.
