   This section discusses optimization techniques for the database
      server, primarily dealing with system configuration rather than
      tuning SQL statements. The information in this section is
      appropriate for DBAs who want to ensure performance and
      scalability across the servers they manage; for developers
      constructing installation scripts that include setting up the
      database; and people running MySQL themselves for development,
      testing, and so on who want to maximize their own productivity.
