Recommended MySQL tuning utility for Windows

Question

I have been using MySQL Tuner (http://mysqltuner.com) on Linux for a while and am quite comfortable with it. Now, for whichever reason, we have had to start hosting other websit

Answer 1

Ok so this is over a year after the question but I thought it relevant because you can actually still use the mysqltuner script if you combine it with Cygwin.

• Install Cygwin
• Make sure Perl is installed

• Additionally I installed the mysql and the mysqld packages as well (Needed for the script to connect to a "remote" MySQL.
  

• Copy the mysqltuner.pl script to your Cygwin user home directory (Found under cygwin_install_dir/home/your.user)

• Start the Cygwin terminal
• Run the script $ perl mysqltuner.pl --host mysql_host_ip --forcemem 512

If you encounter an error in the line of: ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host 'somename.company.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Go to the database server and add the appropriate user and privelages

You should now be able to use mysqltuner in a windows environment against local as well as remote MySQL servers.
