HI, the ibdata1file in mysql\data has reached a size of 10Mb in just over a week, the database I have set up is quite limited, only 7 tables with no more than 12 records in any one table (only evaluating database models on MySQL at the moment). I have done 4 MySQL dumps and some inserts / updates etc but all low volume.
Is there some setting I need to have to keep the size of this file down, or is there a maintenance task to clear it out? What is the significance of this file? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, as my database will be vastly increased in size and disk space may become an issue. Many thanks for your patience Joe
