Hi ppl, this was on Focus-ids list regarding ACID - is it true that mysql is not able to handle big databases? (>1mln records) regards, Vitaly

Has anyone run into limits in mysql and/or ACID? I loaded a network dump that had ~880k alerts+packet dumps last night into a Win2k mysql+ACID install. It was doing okay up through 100k-200k entries then I went away and when I came back I failed to get any response at all. I'm curious if I'm doing something else wrong or if I've just run into a limitation of the packages. Thanks, Toby (all opinions are my own and in no way reflect the views of my employer)

I've heard ramblings from *cough* Marty *cough* *cough* people saying that mySQL doesn't hold up as well as some other DBs past 1 million records. I'm no RDBMS guru, but this wouldn't surprise me. In fairness to mySQL, I'm not sure how many mySQL deployments have pushed the one million mark. Us security folks are always pushing/breaking things.... :) Can anyone with a real DB background confirm this? -Greg
