Frank Mash has started a brilliant series on making the best of running MySQL on the Solaris platform:

• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 1: Introduction
• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 2: Solaris Kernel Threads Model
• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 3: Inter-process communication
• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 4: Solaris Doors and Signals
• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 6: Solaris Performance Tuning Tools 1
• Managing MySQL on Solaris 10: Part 7: Solaris Performance Tuning and Performance Monitoring Tools 2

No, I haven’t missed one out, Frank assures us that Part 5 is on the way!

I wish we had a DTrace interface to MySQL…
