Hi All,

I want to use mysql as a database server that have a lot of queries via web server. I use Perl + DBI + DBD for acess mysql. My work is so big. I must handle about 1000 connections of queries at a time. mostly is select , update , insert queries. Does mysql database server can handle this siuation ??? I think if i use about 2 web servers (Apache) that access one database server (Mysql) ?? Is it will work fine ? Or any suggession to me about handle with hard load ???

Thank you, Thanya.

Hello Thanya,

Yes, MySQL is able to handle 1000 connections, just start the server with option mysqld -O max_connections=1000.

And to your question about Apache, the answer is: yes.

Please check the crash-me tests and benchmark from our www pages. Right now our pages are down, due to hardware breakdown, but here are some mirrors:
