Hello, we having an 60 GB InnoDB database. The table with the problem is about 12GB.
On of our scripts has got a problem and run 60 times an alter table: ALTER TABLE `foo` ADD INDEX ( `bar` ) ; We had to kill the alter table commands with kill on the mysql console. Now we have one index on the column, but this index is broken. We have to delete this index. But the main problem is the disk usage: When this problem occur the disk usage of the ibdata file bumps up to 85 GB. I think after I have killed the alter table commands mysql does not delete the temp tables from the alter table command. How I can remove the temp tables? - I have also read at some bug reports if I now restart the database mysql performs an InnoDB recovery and restores an old temp table to the current table! Is this correct? Thanks, Jonas -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
