Subject: MySql InnoDB


Hi,

I'v installed MySql on my machine and created a new tables.
when i open some table to alter it,i see in the COMMENT textbox: InnoDB
free: 3072 kB
what doe's it mean?
it's mean that i only have 3072kb free for a given table or what?

If you are not using innodb_file_per_table, then the value 3072 kB means that in ibdata files you have that amount of space free for adding more data to your tables. To be precise, there are three 1 MB 'extents' available for extending your tables. In addition, there may be individual 16 kB 'fragment pages' available, but they are not listed in the printout, for simplicity.

If you are using innodb_file_per_table, then the value 3072 kB means that you have that much free space in the .ibd file of that table, for extending the table with those 1 MB extents.

Thank's a lot.

Best regards,

Heikki
