Comment: How much memory Innodb locks really take ?

I am considering changing web-applications from VB6 to PhP/MySQL/Apache/InnoDB. Do you think you can show a program … one user to lock records for edit/update, so the transaction is not interrupted until the transaction is finished/committed? A example of a program is worth…

Comment: Testing Fusion-io ioDrive - now with driver 3.1

… configure MySQL, what portion of it resides on the Fusion-IO card? Do you just have your datadir on there? Or is it more complex than that? I’m new to Fusion-IO and I am going to do some testing with a couple of MySQL servers with ioDrive2 cards (two in each) with the 3.1…
