Hi, 

I'm doing some mass INSERTs (CSV-Files) INTO MySQL
5.0.22 on a Windows 2003 Server using prepared statements and PHP's 
MySQLi extension. Before inserting I ALTER TABLE DISABLE KEYS
and afterward ENABLE KEYS. My indexes file grows huge. 
When I drop the index over a DATETIME field and then add the very same 
index the MYI files grows to an absolutely acceptable size.

What is MySQL doing? Indexing columns that are already indexed by that 
time?
ANALYZE TABLE does not state there is an issue but the MYI file is 
after recreating the index much smaller than it was after the large 
number of INSERTs and previously disabling the keys.

Best,
Bernhard
