Hi List, I'm having quite a large data file ibdata1 in \mysql\data. The file occupies over 500 MB, while all of my databases at the moment are fairly small (recently, i deleted some old databases).
I wonder how it is possible that this file gets so large, compared to the space the rest of my databases take. Does it, for example, contain lots of old data from databases since long deleted?? And I wonder if I can clean it up one way or another; it takes quite some disk space. thanks, rinke -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
