How is your database server dimensioned? It is pretty important that you can keep the most frequently used parts of your database in memory. So if you have a bigger database you will also want to throw in more memory. InnoDB or MyISAM does not make very much difference in my experience as OTRS is mostly read-only anyway. Usually MyISAM is faster than InnoDB and OTRS does not use any of the transactional features that InnoDB offers. Let me know what you decide to do. -- Mike

Hi Michiel,
Thanks for your words. After reading them, we'll stick to MyISAM and
increase memory

Hi Carlos,
A great tool for finding out how to optimize your mysql is mysqltuner.pl. It's a perl script that checks your setup and makes recommandations for tuning it. Read more about it at mysqltuner.com.

I'd say that at least the sessions table is worth converting to innodb. fot others, you can turn on logging of slow queries and see which queries are waiting for locks and which tables they do use. Then you can convert those tables to innodb. note that fulltext searches do not work in innodb so the article table should remain as myisam. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
