設置innodb_buffer_pool_size為可用內存的50-60%.注意可用內存應該是linux命令free下的-/+ buffers/cache行的free值；innodb_buffer_pool_size的值應該是在mysql實例沒有啟動情況下的值，而不是實例啟動后的值。見示例。
示例：
（1）在沒有對innodb_buffer_pool_size參數優化前：
SELECT sql_no_cache
N1.N_NAME AS SUPP_NATION,
N2.N_NAME AS CUST_NATION,
EXTRACT(YEAR FROM L_SHIPDATE) AS L_YEAR,
SUM(L_EXTENDEDPRICE * (1 - L_DISCOUNT)) AS REVENUE
FROM SUPPLIER,
LINEITEM,
ORDERS,
CUSTOMER,
NATION N1,
NATION N2
WHERE
S_SUPPKEY = L_SUPPKEY
AND O_ORDERKEY = L_ORDERKEY
AND C_CUSTKEY = O_CUSTKEY
AND S_NATIONKEY = N1.N_NATIONKEY
AND C_NATIONKEY = N2.N_NATIONKEY
AND (N1.N_NAME = 'FRANCE' AND N2.N_NAME = 'GERMANY' OR N1.N_NAME = 'GERMANY' AND N2.N_NAME = 'FRANCE')
AND L_SHIPDATE >= DATE '1995-01-01'
AND L_SHIPDATE <= DATE '1996-12-31'
GROUP BY
SUPP_NATION,
CUST_NATION,
L_YEAR
ORDER BY
SUPP_NATION,
CUST_NATION,
L_YEAR;
