Hello Heikki, thanks for your reply. It was just my curiosity, with the MyISAM concept it's good for the OS, because it'll cache only the tables most useds, and not "all" the tablespace file.
And how to administer the multiple tablespace support? I'm worried in the space unused by some tables, example: - Multiple tablespace support active - Minium tablespace size is 500MB (in the my.cnf) - 2 tables in the InnoDB database, table1 have only 10kb (few rows), and table2 have 600MB Then you'll have: - table1.ibd with 10kb or 500MB? - 2 x table2.ibd files with 500MB each or - Just one table2.ibd with 600MB or 1GB?
