I've one MYSQL server with 5 databases.
I was using phpmyadmin csv import to load a very big amount of data in one table of one database.
I understand that all other operations in this machine may get slower due to the amount of processing take, but MYSQL is simple not responding to any other simultaneous request, even in other table or in other database.
And because of this apache doen't answer any request that need database connection (keeps loading forever)
after the import is finished, the apache and the mysql return to work normaly... i dont need to restart or execute any other command
my question is, Is this behavior normal? should mysql stop answering all other requests due a single giant one?
I'm afraid that if i've a big query running in one database in this server, all my other databases will be locked also and my applications stop working
