The Size Of MySQL
I've been thinking of using MySQL but after downloading it to test it out I see that its over 25MB in size. Why is it so large? (Of course relatively speaking.) If I dont need *anything* fancy, just simple storing and retrieving of information, why would I need such a large type of database?

Size Of Indexes Versus Data File Size
I am adding indexes to a table with about 200,000 records. Every field indexed adds about 2MB to the index file (*.MYI). The index file is around 8MB and the data file is around 10MB. Is there some optimum ratio I need to know about? (I have examined the queries and am indexing field used in WHERE, ORDER BY and GROUP BY clauses.)

What Is The Max Size Allow For Mysql???
when I dump my db (as in mysqldump) I realize that the size of file is getting big (I guess this is one of the database's nature - to grow :-) ). Right now the size of my db is 200Mb and my estimation that it will grow in 800Mb/Per year (so it'll reach 1Gb by the end of the year) Question: what size would it be wrong to use mySql? I mean, if my db size is 3Gb am I ok? should I expect performance issues? or it doesn't matter.

Size A MySQL Server
I've got a question about how to size the server hardware for a MySQL system that I've got to buy and build. We're going to be putting a database on MySQL that will contain upwards of 20 million rows of data. This data will be used by Java applications running under Tomcat to provide web pages, Java data objects and probably most importantly SOAP web services. The total number of concurrent users of this data is not know, but could be thousands / hour. The database will be essentially read only, no transactions or updates by users. The whole thing will be running on a RedHat Enterprise Linux AS server. What I'd like to know is what kind of machine should I be buying; CPU speed wise, memory size wise and disk size? My initial impression is that the requirements I've outlined above could be handled readily by even a modest machine, but I wanted to ask for feedback in case my impression is wrong.

Mysql Database Latent Size
We tried 2 techniques to mesure db size and both fails to return realtime size. a) under innodb, we ’show variables’, find the innodb_data_file_path variable and parse the size (works only if not autoextend) and we substract the ’InnoDB free: ??? kB’ from the Comment field of ’show table status’. b) for all monitored tables, we figure: indexFree = indexLength/dataLength * dataFree and we sum up: dataLength-dataFree + indexLength-indexFree In both case the size is fair, although not perfectly equal (method A reports bigger size), but the growth is comparable. The problem lies in the accuracy of that info. We do bulky deletes, removing 10 to 40% of rows in many tables. First bug, the size of the DB is not quickly following the ’delete’ statements (it may decay for 20-40 minutes after the statements completed!!). Second bug, the DB size is not changing for 1-2 hours even though we inserts a lot. (We are talking about a few 10 millions rows tables in a 40 gigs InnoDB space, getting ~500 inserts/s, ~2000-5000 deletes/s) How can one mesure the DB size more in real-time, and avoid/account the latent period where growth seams abscent?

Reducing Mysql Database Size
I run 4 forums and have 4 mysql databases of 100mb limit each. It has come to my attention today that 1 of my forums had increased to 110mb in size, so I deleted a section of my forum which has 18,000 posts in which reduced the mysql database down to 85mb. In contrast one of my other forums has twice as many posts yet is only 50mb in file size so I cannot understand why this forum which has less data has a mysql database of 85mb ? I have checked all files and optimised the database and this has only brought things down from 110mb to 81mb. What I do not understand is, is how come I already have a forum which is identical and has more posts yet is much less in database size, and how can I now go about reducing this one which is dangerously close to its limit.

Maximum Size Limit Of MySQL Database?
What is really the maximum size limit of MySQL database? If we are designing a specific program that is projected to last for a longer period of time, and we will be using MYSQL database, we often ask our mind, how long will it stands to hold millions of records. Got any brilliant ideas or tips, wherein we can maintain mysql performance and even the records go heavy, it can still perform its best. Can it hold millions of records? what should be done inorder not to make it crawl after 2 or 3 more years?

Max Table Size
Basically whats the maximum table size in GB that MySQL allows? We are developing an application that streams content - The streams are created by a CMS from a raw file that gets uploaded by a user - These raw files are stored in the db by the app. In Oracle i'm used to creating mutiple datafiles that make up a tablespace and so no singe data file ever really gets that big. Is the same approach applicable in MySQL and if so how big can you go?

Exceeding The Size
exceeding the maximum size of a TEXT data type. Should I be worried and use something like a MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT? The project background is that it is a project that aims to give others ability to create projects and manage them. Kinda vague, but whatever. So should I have any worries about exceeding the variable size of a TEXT (normal) and use something like MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT data types? And what effect (other than bigger variables) will MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT have on my server?

If I error check to make sure the entry is less then 2000 characters will it reduce the size of the database or does MySQL allocate the entire 65 thousand some characters so that it makes no diffrence.

Regarding Index Size
I am fairly new to MySQL and dedicated databases in general, and just had a quick question in relation to index sizes. I've got a InnoDB table with 105,000 rows, each with about 140 bytes of data. I have an index on one INTEGER (4 byte) field, set up as a BTREE index. All good so far. Problem is, MySQL Administrator is stating that the size of the index is 6.5MB, which would be about 62 bytes per index entry. I guess my question is, why does MySQL need to store 62 bytes of information on a 4 byte field? Obivously you would have to store the 4 bytes in the binary tree, as well as some pointer to the physical location of that row on the disk (say another 4 bytes), giving you a total of 8. This is a lot smaller than 62. It's not really a problem at the moment, but the table in question is expected to grow to ~ 60million records, giving an expected index size of 3.72gb. Ideally I want the index stored in memory, and 3.72gb is a fair bit of RAM to be used to index one integer field on one moderately sized table. I'm thinking perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or there's something I'm missing.
