When you delete records from MyISAM data file you only delete records. You don't physically empty the disk space they use. The OPTIMIZE TABLE operation works by making a temporary table. Of course it can be as big as the original table is (including index). So you can't OPTIMIZE TABLE if you don't have spare about 78+16G. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
