Hi, According to http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html 0.5 times your ram size might be a good idea for a database server. Bear in mind that if you use suspend to disk your swap needs to be at least the same size as your RAM. Hope my reply and the link help you a bit.

My System have 16 GB Physical RAM. Now could you please advise how much swap space do i need.
16GB? almost certainly none at all.
If you using suspend to disk mode, I was on the understanding that the swap space would be used to store a copy of the RAM for when the machine was powered down.
