Hi,

...I have a quite critical problem and didn't find anything on mysql.com or
via google :-( Maybe someone here has some hints for me?

The data file .MYD of a certain table has a size of 7.3 Gig and the
corresponding index file .MYI has a size of 10Gig. When deleting records from
this table - will the index file automaticly be stripped down? IF not - is
there a way to trim the index-file to use less space?!?

BTW: how is the maximum size of a index file determined? yesterday, one of
 our databases refused to insert more data into the table, because there was
 no space left in the index-file (17GB) - but the filesystem had plenty of
 space left (SOLARS 8).

Is the any Documentation regarding this issue?

thanks,

Andy
