I have yet to find a comprehensive guide to reading and understanding the "Show Status" fields. Sure, several articles mention this one or that one, but the majority of them are necver covered. I would think it'd be vital to learning how to optimize your mysql server.

I'd also like to see some larger scale my.cnf examples that more closely reflect a 21st century database server. The included my-huge.cnf is based on a server with 2 GBs of ram? Come on! I have that in my gaming PC at home. Our current server has 16GBs of ram - give us an example my.cnf for larger servers!

Thanks,
