Some questions:

1. How to schedule non-interrupt/min-interrupt OPTIMIZE commands? Any
best practices? ***uming MySQL master-slave setup, with MyISAM

2. Is it important to reorganizing the table for MyISAM, something
like the REORG in other DMBS?

Thanks.

there are different ways of scheduling the optimize command to run on
either the master and/or slave. i'd like to run optimize locally (does
not write to bin log) on my tables. depending upon what os your work out
of, you can write a shell and/or bat file to accomplish this and then
schedule it to run either with cron and/or windows scheduler.

it is important to reorg myisam tables specially if the table is
volatile (a lot of write and delete).

optimize on the slave would be more easy as i can just point to
another slave db.
but do you think master also need to optimize? i mean if i don't
optimize the master for long time, will write performance suffer?

you run the optimize command on the table like this:

optimize table t1;

that'll do it.

yes but seems reorg in other db do more then just optimize...thanks
anyway
