If your last data file was defined with the keyword autoextend, then the procedure to edit my.cnf is the following. You have to look at the size of the last data file, round the size downward to the closest multiple of 1024 * 1024 bytes (= 1 MB), and specify the rounded size explicitly in innodb_data_file_path. Then you can add another data file. Remember that only the last data file in the innodb_data_file_path can be specified as auto-extending. An example: We assume you had just one auto-extending data file ibdata1 first, and that file grew to 988 MB. Below a possible line after adding another auto-extending data file. innodb_data_home_dir = innodb_data_file_path = /ibdata/ibdata1:988M;/disk2/ibdata2:50M:autoextend Currently you cannot remove a data file from InnoDB. To decrease the size of your database you have to use mysqldump to dump all your tables, create a new database, and import your tables to the new database " > Asif Iqbal > http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8B686E08 > There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Best regards, Heikki Tuuri Innobase Oy http://www.innodb.com Transactions, foreign keys, and InnoDB Hot Backup: a non-free 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]
