innnodb_file per table creates ibdata files for each table and What to
do if some tables data are deleted frequently.
I have a innodb table which was truncated after 150GB in mysql database.

Hi All,
How to shrink the Mysql ibdata1 files.
The actual size of database is only hardly 10G, but ibdata1 is showing 73G
full. I did some googling and found the following procedure.
Do a mysqldump of all databases, procedures, triggers etc
Drop all databases
Stop mysql
Delete ibdata1 and ib_log files
Start mysql
Restore from dump
When you start MySQL in step 5 the ibdata1 and ib-log files will be
recreated.
Is this the only option with mysql? Can't we update the statistics of
database & reduce the file size.
I am currently using 5.0.X.
"innodb_file_per_table" is your friend, but way too late
that should have been considered BEFORE the setup
now you have only the option dump your databases
reset the server
configure innodb_file_per_table
restore the backup
