title: Mysql taking more RAM space and gradually increasing without any drop down
body: <p>My application is written in Java. I'm using MySQL server for database. I found that mysqld.exe takes more memory space in Java. However it is gradually increasing without any drop down in memory. All my connections, preparedstatement and resultset are closed after its use. Why it takes a lot of memory? how to decrease the memory usage of mysqld.exe without reducing its performance?</p>
