Howdy all, I'm trying to clean up a development server so that we can retask it. I tried dropping a very large but no longer necessary database that uses INNODB tables exclusively. Unfortunately the disk usage on the box didn't change. We're using a completely default MySQL 5.0.15 install on the box (a small centos linux box) so we don't have innodb_file_per_table set in a my.cnf file.
So I've got two basic questions... First, how can I get rid of the current ibdata file? It's taking up a lot of space. Do any of the mysql databases (information schema and mysql) use INNODB tables? What's the correct procedure for freeing up this disk space? Second, are there still issues with innodb_file_per_table and indexes or has that been eradicated? It seems like it was a problem early on in the mysql 4.1 life cycle. I just wanna be sure. Also, Does innodb_file_per_table enhance performance (even if the tablespaces are all on the same physical disk)? Just curious.
