CBT MySQL Architecture 2

- The data directory stores MySQL files and varies based on operating system (/usr/local/mysql/var, /var/lib/mysql, C:\mysql). - MyISAM tables use .MYD, .MYI, and .FRM files to store data, indexes, and schema while InnoDB uses a shared tablespace file and transaction logs. - MySQL uses memory buffers to cache frequently used data like open tables, privileges, indexes, and query plans to improve performance. Logs are also stored in the data directory.

• Disk space Usage


• Memory usage
The Data Directory

• /usr/local/mysql/var (source)
• /var/lib/mysql (pkg)
• \PF\MYSQL 5.1\ Data (Win)
[MySQLD]
• Datadir=/var/lib/mysql2
• Datadir=c:/mysql
• Shell> mysql –verbose –help ==reveals opt.files  parse
order
MyISAM File Structures

• Each DB gets own folder under datadir


• Myd: table data file
• Myi: table index file
• Frm : table schema file
• Schema = database =logical container =
physical folder
InnoDB File Structures
• Files Stored in datadir root
• Tablespace (data + index)
--ibdata
• Transaction log files – ib_log file1, ib_log file2
• Table format files -. Frm
 
[MySQLD]
• Innodb_data_per_table
Mysql logs
• Stored in datadir
• Accessed through mysql client
MySQL Memory usage

• Thread = process = connection = client  thread handlers


• Buffers (memory catches)
– --table cache : open tables
– --grant table buffers : privileges
– --key buffers : index blocks
– --query cache : execution plans
