Major MySQL problems
Hi,
Please be gentle with me, I am only starting out in the mindfield which is MySQL. Over the past few days the services we are providing with a MySQL backend have been pretty much unusable at certain times of the day. I did some investigation and realised the MySQLd process is hogging up to 99.9% of processing power on the server once or twice per day, almost always around the same time. Hanging our web front end making it practically unusable.
I assume we need to perform some kind of optimisation but I am at a loss as to where to start. I have included my server variables in case there is anything glaryingly obvious.
Many thanks,
Paul
