What does optimize mean?
Seeing posts about mysqlcheck on the list prompted me to check out that utility. A lot of it I can see is very useful, and I understand what it does. However, what does the optimize command mean? What does it do? The help file says that the -o option optimizes, but what does that mean?? I ran it on one of my databases, and most of them said OK, and some of them said table is already up to date. But I still have no idea what it did, if anything.

Re: What does optimize mean?
OK, I missed it this time because I partially typed in something when searching for this in the manual. I searched for optimiz, and stopped there and ran across optimization But missed the OPTIMIZE TABLE entry. Sorry about that. I'll read through that.
