Changing MySQL Sizing on Windows

If you want to adjust the MySQL memory, follow these steps:

  1. By default, the MySQL installation creates the configuration file, my.ini under the MySQL installation directory. The default MySQL installation location is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5. If the file does not exist, create one.
  2. Update or add the property 'innodb_buffer_pool_size', under the '[mysqld]' section.
  3. Restart MySQL after you have updated the configuration file for the new value to take effect.
