Re: Huge heap vs performance

There currently is a bug with memory tables, where periodically deletes on btree indexes take longer than expected.... HOWEVER, I currently have my summary tables built and loaded all into memory tables (using btree) and I can handle a lot more than I could with myisam.

Some of my queries are complex and do full table scans... where the table is memory it blazes. You should really try it out.

init-file -- lets you run sql at startup... throw some sql to build your memory tables at startup.

I mentioned the bug because you may see a period where deletes aren't 0.01 seconds.

Where the memory tables have been outgrown, InnoDB fits well.
