MySQL : MySQL Optimal Configuraton Architecture

MySQL Optimal Configuraton Architecture

Oracle DBAs understand the importance of defining guidelines and standards and using them in the configuration and management of database servers. Years ago the Optimal Configuration Architecture (OFA) developed a base set of guidelines and naming conventions for Oracle DBAs.

I developed the MySQL Optimal Configuration Architecture (MOCA) modeled after OFA to give new MySQL DBAs a set of guidelines and standards to consider when configurating MySQL database servers.

Starting up and Shutting Down a MySQL Server
