How can I add index to an 18 GB innodb mysql table without affecting the production performance? The table is frequently accessed, I tried altering the table just now and it turns up to have locked more than 200 queries out, and that’s bad for performance. Are there any other ways to do it?
TheOnly92 – there is another option, one that even amazon and ebay use. it’s not considered ‘bad’ form to have infrequesnt maintenence periods where the site is unaccesible. on those occassions, you’ll see a 404 maintenence page being displayed with a user friendly messge saying that the site is undergoing essential upgrades between the hours of …. etc
this might be the most pragmatic solution as creating this page will take you 5 mins, whereas the other option may take many hours to figure out and many more to implement. also, as it would be infrequent, then it’s unlikely that your users would be put off by such a message or period of downtime.
