mysql max connection_我应该为MySQL设置什么max_connection？

I am using MySQL 5.1.35 database on Linux Centos.

The Linux server has 2GB RAM with 14GB of disk space.

I have created webservices using Restlet framework in Java which has thousand user access.

I want to set max_connection for maximum concurrent connections.

So please suggest me that what max_connection should I set?

Thanks in advance.

You need to calculate the memory required by your MySQL engine. See manual here

If you are using MYISAM tables then you can calculate memory requirement using following formula:

key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size) * max_connections = K bytes of memory

Ideally this should not exceed 2 GB in your case.

Configuration parameters depends on type of your application and querys, but standard values for you could be:

key_buffer_size = 1024MB + (read_buffer_size = 1MB + sort_buffer_size = 4MB) * 200 ~= 2GB

key_buffer_size is a global variables whereas read_buffer_size and sort_buffer_size are session level parameters.
