Hi all,

In one of our customers databases there is table that have an
extremely high max_data_length of about 256TB(!). Another have 1 TB,
while the rest is at 4GB. (all of these tables are basically the same,
but with these two as the ones withthe most data). The largest table
is currently at about 8.7 GB.

Is there any practical consequences of having such overly large
max_table_length? Or is max_data_length mostly useful as a way to
ensure that disk don't run full or as a quota system?

And if there is, what is the more practical way reduce the value to
something remotely sane.
