What is the maximum memory a process (MySQL) can consume on a 32-bit OS?
- by mmattax
I have MySQL running on a 32-bit RHEL box. The server itself has 4GB total memory with 2GB allocated to MySQL.
I would like to know the max amount of memory I can put in the box and how much of that I can allocate to MySQL.
I have heard both 2GB and 4GB as the per-process-limit on a 32-bit OS...
Ultimately I'd like to know if I can increase the memory for MySQL without upgrading to a 64-bit OS.
