Hi Performance Wizards! I need advice on this. I have a db which is being constantly updated and queried by a few computers. We are doing datamining. The machine is running on a moderately powered machine and processors constantly hit 90%. At the same time, we need to present these data on a web interface. The performance for the web interface is now very sluggish as most of the power is occupied by the mining process. I have thought of a few ways out of this - 1) Buy a mega powered machine (temporal solution, quick fix) 2) Do a master-slave configuration 3) Separate the DB into 2 - One for pure mining purposes, the other purely for web serving For (2), I do not know if it will be very effective since the master will probably have many changes at any moment. I do not understand how the changes will be propagated from the master to the slave without impacting the slave's performance. Anyone with more experience here? (3) seems ideal but is a very very painful solution! We can possibly use a message queue system but again I am not familiar with MQ. Will need to do more research. If you were me, how would you solve this problem? Thanks!
