None, as Reindl said. This is not a memory issue, it's a function of I/O optimization. Records are stored in pages, and pages are composed of multiple disk blocks. The database reads or writes only entire pages, in order to better use the system's disk throughput. This is a reasonably advanced topic, so don't try to mess with block and page sizes if you don't know the fine details :-) -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
