Hi,

I’m trying to avoid trashing my flash cache SSD whie loading data to the db.  
Is there something like /\* sql\_no\_fcache \*/

for the Mysql loader?

Thanks,  
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

There is /_sql\_no\_fcache_/ in Percona Server 5.5. You can get more information here,

[http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/management/sql](http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/management/sql) \_no\_fcache.html
