Now, if you have enabled --innodb-file-per-table and if you have named your table '1' then that file is probably '1.ibd'. That would be expected. But that seems unlikely based on your other details. Did you also enable a separate undo log, perhaps? Although if you had, it should be 'undo1' not just '1' http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_undo_tablespaces So, that simple '1' file also seems unusual to me. -- Shawn Green MySQL Principal Technical Support Engineer Oracle USA, Inc. - Hardware and Software, Engineered to Work Together.
