hi,
=20
I run a web server on a linux box from which PHP connect to a mySQL 4 =
server running on another linux box.
tis works well but when the number of concurent connection/queries go =
high, the DB server runs very slowly.
=20
while trying to find a fix to this problem, I've been told that whatever =
the number of concurent queries the DB server receive, it process them =
thru a queue, that no more than 1 query may be performed by mySQL at a =
time.
=20
is this true ?
=20
true or not, will I gain speed by by preventing the web server to =
perform too many connections/queries at the same time? I mean, will =
10000 connection/queries be executed faster if there is at most 25 =
concurent queries than if there are 100 or more concurent =
connections/queries? (by queries, I mean a mix of select (lot) and =
update (few))
=20
TIA,
Pierre.

Re: are concurent queries serialized ?

Hello.



At first, you should find out the root of the problem. Use 'SHOW

PROCESSLIST' or mysqladmin processlist (-i 1 -r options might be

helpful). See:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/show-processlist.html

It depends. But in general it is not true. InnoDB for example allows

a great concurrency. See:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/innodb.html
