Default innodb_buffer_pool_size

If innodb_buffer_pool_size is set to more than 1GB , innodb _ buffer _ pool _instances divides the InnoDB buffer pool into a specific number of instances. The default was in MariaDB 5. You can configure InnoDB buffer pool size offline (at startup) or online, while the server is running. Behavior described in this section applies to both methods.

When the write to a row happens which happens to be already loaded in memory (RAM), MySQL updates the row in-memory and shifts the page (now dirty) to another LinkedList , member of the BufferPool. MySQL configuration parameter that specifies the amount of memory allocated to the InnoDB buffer pool by MySQL. On all other platforms, the default value is when innodb_buffer_pool_size is greater than or equal to 1GB. Otherwise, the default is 1. For related information, see Section 14.

Configuring InnoDB Buffer Pool Size”. M , which is the default value. Setting innodb_buffer_pool_size is dynamic in MySQL 5. How large should be mysql. MariaDB uses by default the Aria storage engine for internal temporary files. A table scan, performed for a mysqldump operation or a SELECT statement with no WHERE clause, for example, can bring a large amount of data into the buffer pool and evict an equivalent amount of older data, even if the new data is never used again.

M, which is the default value. M which was the default setting for some odd reason. The other two machines had this line commented out in the ini file so they were working properly, MySQL was behaving as expected. To enable multiple buffer pool instances, set the innodb _ buffer _ pool _instances configuration option to a value greater than (the default ) up to (the maximum). A background thread performs the resizing operation.

The innodb _ buffer _ pool _ size default value is 128MB. Set innodb _ buffer _ pool _ size to about of available memory. That is, after allowing for other applications. Set key_ buffer _ size to about 40M. To change from MyISAM to InnoDB is optimally just ALTER TABLE t ENGINE=InnoDB.

However, there are a lot of things that may cause degraded performance, especially in the way of indexes. Review this parameter first to identify the source of memory usage. Here is an output from a tuner script.

INNODB STATUS Current InnoDB index space = 2M Current InnoDB data space = 2M Current InnoDB buffer pool free = Current innodb _ buffer _ pool _ size = M. Its now having a innodb_buffer_pool_size at 128MB. I have a database using innodb completely. Which I know is very less for my user. What would result in bad usage of the swap disk and every swap usage for MySql innodb buffer is a overkill for any performance. The preferred value size for the log_file_ size is of the innodb _ buffer _ pool _ size.

The size of the innodb _log_ buffer _ size that InnoDB uses to write to the log files on disk. By default there are two logfiles. This is such prolific tuning advice, it seems ingrained in many a DBA’s minds.

You can now use the SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = xxxx command which causes a resizing job to begin in background.
