Please! sorry, it is not possible to shrink the InnoDB tablespace without recreating it. You may try gzip or some other tool to compress the table dumps if they would not otherwise fit on your disk. On September 15th, 2003 you will be able to put every InnoDB table into its own file. That should alleviate this kind of problem. > -Steve Best regards, Heikki Tuuri Innobase Oy http://www.innodb.com Transactions, foreign keys, and a hot backup tool for MySQL Order MySQL technical support from https://order.mysql.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
