Saya menjalankan server database RAM rackspace 1gb. Untuk beberapa alasan dalam sekitar 2 hari penggunaan memori beralih dari menggunakan sangat sedikit swap, hingga menggunakan 100mb. Jika saya tidak me-restart sql akan tetap menggunakan lebih banyak swap. (File my.cnf saya ditampilkan di bawah dan penggunaan memori ditunjukkan di bawah)
Beberapa latar belakang: Saya memiliki sekitar 50 database aktif yang memiliki skema yang sama yang menggunakan INNODB untuk tabel di sana. Saya memiliki beberapa basis data dengan sedikit lalu lintas yang menggunakan MyISAM.
Pada tabel INNODB saya TIDAK menggunakan koneksi persisten. Saya juga memiliki fungsi pelaporan yang membuat tabel sementara. (Ini bisa menjadi sumber daya intensif, tetapi TIDAK sering terjadi)
Saya menggunakan CENTOS 6.3 dan mysql 5.5.28-log
Meskipun saya menggunakan swap, kinerjanya masih cukup bagus. Saya hanya takut jika saya tidak me-restart setiap beberapa hari saya akan memiliki masalah.
Berikut ini adalah log gratis -m saya selama sekitar 2 hari: (Catatan pertama tepat setelah restart mysql)

my.cnf
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-system-variables.html
#
# Take care to only add/remove/change a setting if you are comfortable
# doing so! For Rackspace customers, if you have any questions or
# concerns, please contact the MySQL Database Services Team. Be aware
# that some work performed by this team can involve additional billable
# fees.

### General
user = mysql
port = 3306
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-external-locking = 1
log_error = /var/log/mysqld.log
## This prevents using host-based authentication. That means users must be
## created using an ip-address (ie 'myuser'@'192.168.100.1') or must make
## use of the % wildcard (ie 'myuser'@'%'). The benefit to not using
## host-based authentication is that DNS will not impact MySQL performance.
#skip-name-resolve
## If open-files-limit is set very low, MySQL may increase on its own. Either
## way, increase this if MySQL gives 'too many open files' errors. Setting
## this above 65535 could be unwise (MySQL may crash).
open-files-limit = 20000
### Cache
thread-cache-size = 16
table-open-cache = 4096
table-definition-cache = 512
## Generally, it is unwise to set the query cache to be larger than 64-128M
## as the costs associated with maintaining the cache outweigh the performance
## gains. A far superior solution would be to implement memcached, though this
## required modifying the application, among other things.
query-cache-type = 1
query-cache-size = 32M
query-cache-limit = 1M
### Per-thread Buffers
sort-buffer-size = 1M
read-buffer-size = 1M
read-rnd-buffer-size = 2M
join-buffer-size = 1M
### Temp Tables
tmp-table-size = 64M
max-heap-table-size = 64M
### Networking
back-log = 100
max-connections = 50
max-connect-errors = 10000
max-allowed-packet = 16M
interactive-timeout = 600
wait-timeout = 180

#### Storage Engines
## Set this to force MySQL to use a particular engine / table-type
## for new tables. This setting can still be overridden by specifying
## the engine explicitly in the CREATE TABLE statement.
default-storage-engine = InnoDB
## Makes sure MySQL does not start if InnoDB fails to start. This helps
## prevent ugly silent failures.
innodb = FORCE
### MyISAM
## Not sure what to set this to?
## Try running a 'du -sch /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI'
## This will give you a good estimate on the size of all the MyISAM indexes.
## (The buffer may not need to set that high, however)
key-buffer-size = 2M
## This setting controls the size of the buffer that is allocated when
## sorting MyISAM indexes during a REPAIR TABLE or when creating indexes
## with CREATE INDEX or ALTER TABLE.
myisam-sort-buffer-size = 2M
### InnoDB
## Note: While most settings in MySQL can be set at run-time, many InnoDB
## variables cannot be set at runtime as require restarting MySQL
###
## These settings control how much RAM InnoDB will use. Generally, when using
## mostly InnoDB tables, the innodb-buffer-pool-size should be as large as
## is possible without swapping or starving other processes of RAM. The other
## two settings usually do not need to be changed, but can help for very large
## datasets.
innodb-buffer-pool-size = 285M
innodb-log-buffer-size = 8M
## Be careful when changing these as they require re-generating the
## ib-logfile* files, which must be done carefully. Do not change this unless
## you are familiar with the procedure.
innodb-log-file-size = 128M
innodb-log-files-in-group = 2
## This will cause each table to create its own .ibd file
innodb-file-per-table = 1
## Setting this to 2 will decrease disk I/O but can cause up to a second of
## queries to be lost during a hard outage (i.e. power failures)
# innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit = 2
### Replication
## Set this to the Server's instance ID in replication environments
server-id = 1
#log-bin = /var/lib/mysql/bin-log
#relay-log = /var/lib/mysql/relay-log
#relay-log-space-limit = 4G
#expire-logs-days = 5
## This should be enabled on conventional MySQL slaves
#read-only = 1
## This will cause replicated statements on a slave to be written to the slave's binlog
## Enable this on the middle slave of M->S->S configs
#log-slave-updates = 1
#binlog-format = STATEMENT
### Logging
## This option determines the destination for general query log and slow query log output.
## The option value can be given as one or more of the words TABLE, FILE, or NONE.
## NOTE: Table logging takes away 50% of performance and thus is not recommended
## http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=30414
## In addition, you cannot backup the contents of these tables properly
## (mysqldump skips these tables by default since they cannot be locked)

# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
# The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.
