MySQL Database Optimization

A slow database paralyzes even the most powerful server.

MySQL vs MariaDB

Always use MariaDB (optimized fork of MySQL). It is faster and handles concurrency better.

my.cnf Configuration

EnderAI can generate the perfect configuration file based on your RAM. Key parameters:

• innodb_buffer_pool_size: Set it to 70% of the RAM dedicated to the DB.
• max_connections: Don't exaggerate, 100-200 are often enough.

Indexes and Queries

A poorly written script running queries without indexes will kill performance. Use EXPLAIN to analyze slow queries.

Conclusion

The database is the beating heart of player data. Treat it with care.
