Tips For Improving MySQL Database Performance

 

Basically many matters depend on the way the web software is written. Elsewhere on this web you’ll find guide on improving indexing strategies, avoid unnecessary need of frequent usage of INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements, avoiding correlated subqueries and coding loops. Basically we need to improve the logical structure of the query and tables to decrease the need of access as few data as possible :

  1. Having efficient SQL queries
  2. Designing a logical schema which support the application’s need
  3. Designing to support use case
  4. Relational constraints
  5. Normalization

Tips For Improving MySQL Database Performance

At MySQL server level, we need to know the DB Engine. For example, we talked about MyISAM vs Innodb MySQL Engine, InnoDB vs Percona XtraDB vs TokuDB etc. Also, the distribution like MariaDB, Percona, original MySQL, MySQL Enterprise do matters for various reasons.

Next of course matters like storage and caching. We discussed how we can enable caching for MySQL server.

Obviously the hardware on which MySQL server is installed matters huge. Using some known profiling scripts like Major Hayden, testing various optimised my.cnf settings or using Percona’s web based wizard to generate my.cnf are practical approaches. There are tools like mysqlcheck.

Frankly, beyond these checking and optimisation; one needs an experienced database expert for a serious production website or application.
