Hello, could someone help me optimize a my.cnf file please? I am using mysqltuner.pl and I have managed to get most of the settings ideal after reading several threads on here, but no matter what I change, the Temporary tables created on disk percentage keeps getting to high. As soon as I run mysqltuner it gives a warning that temp tables are being written to the disc, and it just continues to get larger. I run If I increase tmp_table_size to what mysqltuner suggests, the next time I run mysqltuner it just says tmp_table_size is already too high and to try something else.

Try setting max_heap_table_size to the same value as your tmp_table_size. If max_heap_table_size is lower, then it's limiting the size of your tmp_table_size as well.

Hi, I always make tmp_table_size and max_heap_table_size the same size, they can both be 64M, 128M, 256M, 512M, but tmp table are wrote to disc immediately when mysqltuner is ran.
