My.ini 默认配置详解
# MySQL Server Instance Configuration File
Mysql服务实例配置文件
CLIENT SECTION
客户端章节：
[client]
port=3306 端口号=3306
注：此处可以添加 如下内容 直接登录MySQL
user=XXXXXX
password=XXXXXX
[mysql]
default-character-set=latin1 默认字符编码=latin1
SERVER SECTION
服务端章节
[mysqld]
# The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on
TCP/IP Port 监听mysql的端口号
port=3306
#Path to installation directory. All paths are usually resolved relative to this.
安装目录路径 。所有的路径都是作为这个路径的相对路径。
basedir="E:/programfile/MySql5.1/"
#Path to the database root
数据库数据的根路径
datadir="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/"
# The default character set that will be used when a new schema or table is
# created and no character set is defined
默认的字符集编码作用于当一个新的schema 或者表被创建的时候没有指定字符集。
default-character-set=latin1
# The default storage engine that will be used when create new tables when
默认的存储引擎作用于当创建新表的时候
default-storage-engine=INNODB
# Set the SQL mode to strict
设置严格的SQL模型
sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
# The maximum amount of concurrent sessions the MySQL server will
# allow. One of these connections will be reserved for a user with
# SUPER privileges to allow the administrator to login even if the
# connection limit has been reached.
Mysql 服务端允许最大的并发数，其中一个连接将留给用户使用超级权限连接数据库，即使连接数已经达到最高限额
max_connections=100
# Query cache is used to cache SELECT results and later return them
# without actual executing the same query once again. Having the query
# cache enabled may result in significant speed improvements, if your
# have a lot of identical queries and rarely changing tables. See the
# "Qcache_lowmem_prunes" status variable to check if the current value
# is high enough for your load.
# Note: In case your tables change very often or if your queries are
# textually different every time, the query cache may result in a
# slowdown instead of a performance improvement.
查询缓存用于在缓存中SELECT结果，返回不是实际查询数据库的结果。
从缓存中查询的结果会显著的提升查询速度，如果你有很多相同的查询和很少改变表结构。
查看“Qcache_lowmem_prunes”状态变量来检查当前值对于你的负载是否足够高。
NOTE：如果你的表结构经常改变或者，你每次查询都不相同，那么使用查询缓存结果可能不是一个性能改进。
query_cache_size=15M
# The number of open tables for all threads. Increasing this value
# increases the number of file descriptors that mysqld requires.
# Therefore you have to make sure to set the amount of open files
# allowed to at least 4096 in the variable "open-files-limit" in
# section [mysqld_safe]
所有的线程打开表的数量。
table_cache=256
# Maximum size for internal (in-memory) temporary tables. If a table
# grows larger than this value, it is automatically converted to disk
# based table This limitation is for a single table. There can be many
# of them.
临时表最大内存大小。如果一个表生长大于这个值，它会自动转换为磁盘，这只是限制单个表，可以有很多个
tmp_table_size=18M
# How many threads we should keep in a cache for reuse. When a client
# disconnects, the client's threads are put in the cache if there aren't
# more than thread_cache_size threads from before. This greatly reduces
# the amount of thread creations needed if you have a lot of new
# connections. (Normally this doesn't give a notable performance
# improvement if you have a good thread implementation.)
有很多线程我们应该保持在一个缓存里以便重用。在没有超过超过线程缓存大小之前，当一个客户端断开连接时,把客户端线程放在缓存中。如果你有很多新的连接，那么这大大降低了线程的数量创造需要。（如果你有一个好的改进线程实现方案，那么这个并不会给出一个显著的性能）
thread_cache_size=8
#*** MyISAM Specific options
MYISAM 特殊配置项
# The maximum size of the temporary file MySQL is allowed to use while
# recreating the index (during REPAIR, ALTER TABLE or LOAD DATA INFILE.
# If the file-size would be bigger than this, the index will be created
# through the key cache (which is slower).
Mysql临时文件允许使用重建索引(在修复，修改表结构，导入数据文件时)的最大大小。
如果文件大小会比这个大,该指数将被创建通过键缓存(很慢)
myisam_max_sort_file_size=100G
# If the temporary file used for fast index creation would be bigger
# than using the key cache by the amount specified here, then prefer the
# key cache method. This is mainly used to force long character keys in
# large tables to use the slower key cache method to create the index.
如果临时文件用于快速创建索引将比使用键缓存更大，那么键缓存的方法是很好的。这主要用于在比较大型的表使用缓慢的基础上，使用长字符串创建索引。
myisam_sort_buffer_size=35M
# Size of the Key Buffer, used to cache index blocks for MyISAM tables.
# Do not set it larger than 30% of your available memory, as some memory
# is also required by the OS to cache rows. Even if you're not using
# MyISAM tables, you should still set it to 8-64M as it will also be
# used for internal temporary disk tables.
在MyISAM表里用于缓存索引块。不要把它设置为大于你的可用内存的30%，因为一些内存还需要由OS缓存行，即使您没有使用MyISAM表,您仍然应该将其设置为8 - 64 m,因为它也会用于内部临时磁盘表
key_buffer_size=8M
# Size of the buffer used for doing full table scans of MyISAM tables.
# Allocated per thread, if a full scan is needed.
MyISAM表用来做全表扫描的缓冲区大小
如果需要一个完整的扫描，就分配给每一个线程
read_buffer_size=64K
read_rnd_buffer_size=256K
# This buffer is allocated when MySQL needs to rebuild the index in
# REPAIR, OPTIMZE, ALTER table statements as well as in LOAD DATA INFILE
# into an empty table. It is allocated per thread so be careful with
# large settings.
这个缓冲区是分配给：当MYSQL在需要修理,OPTIMZE,修改表结构语句以及导入加载数据
到一个空表时重建索引。它是分配给每个线程，所以在大型设置中要小心使用。
sort_buffer_size=256K
#*** INNODB Specific options ***
INNODB特殊项
INNODB保存数据目录
innodb_data_home_dir="E:/MySQL Datafiles/"
# Use this option if you have a MySQL server with InnoDB support enabled
# but you do not plan to use it. This will save memory and disk space
# and speed up some things.
#skip-innodb
# Additional memory pool that is used by InnoDB to store metadata
# information. If InnoDB requires more memory for this purpose it will
# start to allocate it from the OS. As this is fast enough on most
# recent operating systems, you normally do not need to change this
# value. SHOW INNODB STATUS will display the current amount used.
InnoDB存储元数据信息时的额外的内存池。如果需要更多的内存，InnoDB为此它会分配它的操作系统内存。因为在大多数操作系统中，这已经是足够快的了，所以通常不需要修改这个值。SHOW INNODB STATUS会显示当前的使用量
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
# If set to 1, InnoDB will flush (fsync) the transaction logs to the
# disk at each commit, which offers full ACID behavior. If you are
# willing to compromise this safety, and you are running small
# transactions, you may set this to 0 or 2 to reduce disk I/O to the
# logs. Value 0 means that the log is only written to the log file and
# the log file flushed to disk approximately once per second. Value 2
# means the log is written to the log file at each commit, but the log
# file is only flushed to disk approximately once per second.
如果设置为1，InnoDB会在每个提交磁盘冲洗事务日志,这提供了完整的ACID的行为.
如果你想安全，并且正在执行一些小操作，你可以设置为0或者2在减少磁盘I / O日志。
#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
# The size of the buffer InnoDB uses for buffering log data. As soon as
# it is full, InnoDB will have to flush it to disk. As it is flushed
# once per second anyway, it does not make sense to have it very large
# (even with long transactions).
这个大小用于缓冲InnoDB在缓冲日志数据。一旦它满了，InnoDB会在磁盘上释放它。
它无论如何都会一秒缓冲一次，这对于非常大的日志是没有意义的。（即使有长事务）
innodb_log_buffer_size=1M
# InnoDB, unlike MyISAM, uses a buffer pool to cache both indexes and
# row data. The bigger you set this the less disk I/O is needed to
# access data in tables. On a dedicated database server you may set this
# parameter up to 80% of the machine physical memory size. Do not set it
# too large, though, because competition of the physical memory may
# cause paging in the operating system. Note that on 32bit systems you
# might be limited to 2-3.5G of user level memory per process, so do not
# set it too high.
InnoDB,不像MyISAM,使用一个缓冲池来缓存的两个索引和行数据。这个磁盘I / O设置的更大，需要访问的数据表更少。在专用的数据库服务器上你可以设置参数高达80%的机器的物理内存大小。不用把它设置的太大，不过，因为在操作系统中竞争的物理内存可能导致内存不够分。注意,32位系统上的你可能被限制在2 - 3.5g的用户级内存，所以不要设置的太高。
innodb_buffer_pool_size=83M
# Size of each log file in a log group. You should set the combined size
# of log files to about 25%-100% of your buffer pool size to avoid
# unneeded buffer pool flush activity on log file overwrite. However,
# note that a larger logfile size will increase the time needed for the
# recovery process.
每个日志文件在日志组里的大小。你应该将日志文件大约为25% - -100%缓冲池大小合并来避免不必要的缓冲池的缓冲行为覆盖日志文件。然而，一个大的日志文件将增加复苏过程的所需时间。
innodb_log_file_size=17M
# Number of threads allowed inside the InnoDB kernel. The optimal value
# depends highly on the application, hardware as well as the OS
# scheduler properties. A too high value may lead to thread thrashing.
InnoDB的内核允许多线程。最高性能取决于高的应用程序、硬件以及操作系统。
一个很高的值可能导致线程抖动
innodb_thread_concurrency=8
总结：Mysql数据库，分INNODB和MYISAM存储引擎，MYISAM不支持多线程，也就是说，当有一个链接在对某表进行存储操作的时候，会自动锁表。当这个链接操作完成以后，后面的链接才能继续执行存储操作。而INNODB支持多线程，只要不是自己手动锁表，都不是出现类似MYISAM的情况。然后再查询速度上，比如：select count(*) from table1;，MYISAM要强于INNODB，因为，在表数据存进来的时候，MYISAM的引擎就会自动存储一个该表的总数量等信息，那么查询的时候就会自动从那里取得。一般MYISAM在统计数据时用的比较多，差不多了，我所知有限，如果有错误的地方，请各位提出来。

修改配置文件后可能遇到的问题：
MySQL Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
调查得知，只要删除MySQL/data目录下的ib_logfile0和ib_logfile1两个文件，就可以解决问题了。
