hi, Chris Thank you for your advice!
I know that Innodb use the logfiles circularly. Can Innodb re-use the deleted rows' disk space in tablespace? Regards, Leo Huang 2006/7/26, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

The logs are needed in case you need to replay transactions. I suggest you read this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-and-removing.html and this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-parameters.html Specify 2-3 entries in the innodb_data_file_path and mysql should (if I'm reading it properly) rotate between the files and keep size under control.
