ChatGPT: The InnoDB buffer pool is used by MySQL to cache frequently accessed data in memory. If we expand the cache concept more, the buffer pool could be even less if the working set (hot data) is smaller. Answer : No, ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI and is not designed to replace a MySQL DBA job.
