[Asterisk-Users] MySQL

[Brian Wilkins]

I have found that because the way MyISAM works, InnoDB is a better solution to 
prevent hangups due to the type of locking MyISAM uses. You have to edit 
your /etc/mysql/my.cnf in order to enable InnoDB

From "High Performance MySQL" by O'Reilly :

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:400M
innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/var/
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/var/
innodb_log_arch_dir = /usr/local/mysql/var/
set-variable = innodb_mirrored_log_groups=1
set-variable = innodb_log_files_in_group=3
set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
innodb_log_archive=0
innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
 innodb_file_io_threads = 4
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

MyISAM tables, if accessing many different times by many different processes, 
can causes buffering issues; especially on a large scale IP PBX.
