We have a client with only a few hundred thousand records in some tables with bad performance - all the blame of a dreadful design + MyISAM. My predecessor suggested he archive data, not fix the app, which is in even more strife now. I think there needs to be a note on the archiving plan.

Archiving strategies could fill a huge article in itself though. In particular, if you have a dataset that needs archiving that spans a set of tables with foreign keys, the set of queries to successfully archive the data (and maintain foreign key constraints) can be challenging at best. I'd love to see some follow-up on what (if any) tips and tricks are available to MySQL users for quickly and efficiently archiving complex datasets. Other tools I've found useful for monitoring the simple question of "is the server up?" include: http://montastic.com http://awaremonitoring.com/ Nice summary article, like it.
