Please could you let me know if there are any performance issues with using mysql on windows xp. The mysql serves over 10 client server apps, which query the database simultaneously
A:
Generally I run MySQL on Windows Server 2003 with Dual or Quad core processors -> unless I have too much data or a bad index/query the MySQL database has no issue with 50+ client apps.
On XP I don't find that much of an issue - generally a desktop has lower horsepower and isn't optimized for MySQL speed.
I would recommend the book High Performance MySQL if you want more answers on getting MySQL to run optimally.
