I have:

  • 32 bit - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)
  • Mysql 5
  • 10G RAM

What are the memory allocation limits with respect to mysql? Maximum memory usage possible. Any supporting documents from redhat site?

A: 

As such, if your system has more than 4GB of RAM, you need to install the ... EXT3 file system capacity has been extended beyond 8TB to a maximum of 16TB. ..... the mysqli extension, a new interface designed specifically for MySQL

If everyone googles... ok leave it it took me 1s to post question here and proceed to some priority tasks... Thanks.Mean while check this:http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/Here it exposes memory limits and all that - but again as its about a single application - mysql. How much is the memory limits about that? It cannot utilize >2G of ram, limit on datafile size and all that what i want to know.I don't want to extend. I want to know limits.
