innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit (这个很管用)
抱怨Innodb比MyISAM慢 100倍?那么你大概是忘了调整这个值。默认值1的意思是每一次事务提交或事务外的指令都需要把日志写入(flush)硬盘,这是很费时的。特别是使用电 池供电缓存(Battery backed up cache)时。设成2对于很多运用,特别是从MyISAM表转过来的是可以的,它的意思是不写入硬盘而是写入系统缓存。日志仍然会每秒flush到硬 盘,所以你一般不会丢失超过1-2秒的更新。设成0会更快一点,但安全方面比较差,即使MySQL挂了也可能会丢失事务的数据。而值2只会在整个操作系统 挂了时才可能丢数据。
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit
If the value of innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit is 0, the log buffer is written out to the log file once per second and the flush to disk operation is performed on the log file, but nothing is done at a transaction commit. When the value is 1, the log buffer is written out to the log file at each transaction commit and the flush to disk operation is performed on the log file. When the value is 2, the log buffer is written out to the file at each commit, but the flush to disk operation is not performed on it. However, the flushing on the log file takes place once per second also when the value is 2. Note that the once-per-second flushing is not 100% guaranteed to happen every second, due to process scheduling issues.
The default value of this variable is 1 (prior to MySQL 4.0.13, the default is 0).
A value of 1 is required for ACID compliance. You can achieve better performance by setting the value different from 1, but then you can lose at most one second worth of transactions in a crash. With a value of 0, any mysqldprocess crash can erase the last second of transactions. With a value of 2, then only an operating system crash or a power outage can erase the last second of transactions. However, InnoDB's crash recovery is not affected and thus crash recovery does work regardless of the value.
Note
For the greatest possible durability and consistency in a replication setup using InnoDB with transactions, use innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1, sync_binlog=1, and innodb-safe-binlog in your master server my.cnf file.
Caution
Many operating systems and some disk hardware fool the flush-to-disk operation. They may tellmysqld that the flush has taken place, even though it has not. Then the durability of transactions is not guaranteed even with the setting 1, and in the worst case a power outage can even corrupt theInnoDB database. Using a battery-backed disk cache in the SCSI disk controller or in the disk itself speeds up file flushes, and makes the operation safer. You can also try using the Unix commandhdparm to disable the caching of disk writes in hardware caches, or use some other command specific to the hardware vendor.
