If MySQL Proxy has to live on same machine as MySQL, are there any tuning considerations to ensure both perform optimally?

MySQL Proxy can live on any box: application, db or its own box. MySQL Proxy uses comparatively little CPU or RAM, so additional requirements or overhead is negligible. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
