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.)

Importing Data Via Text File. Size Limit!
I am running mysql/php on my local machine (xp-pro). I am trying to import a lot of data into the database. I have about 50 thousand records. Here is a example of a recordset. "13-01-103-007","32835 BRUGGEMAN","Warren Consolidated","95380","95380","94160","100.000","60.000","120.000","0.165","0","0","Apartment ","0","1.00","1307","C ","Brick ","1626","399","2","1626","1.00","0","1","1 Story","1980","A " The fields are seperated by "," and enclosed by " "" ". When I use phpmyadmin and limit the insert to about 30 records every thing works fine. But when I try to do the entire batch (50,000) it times out or I get a generic error "page can not be found" . I noticed in phpmyadmin that the limit of file size is 2048kb. Could this be the problem? If so can I increase the size of the file? Mines is 14.9 MB. Or not have it timed out.

Key File Size
We have loaded a very large dataset and received an error message stating that the key file is full. How do you go about increasing the allowable size of the key file? I assume by the key file the error message is referring to the .MYI file. Is this correct?

Changing Innodb Log File Size - Errors?
I am using MySQL version 5.0 on Linux Fedora Core 4. I recently got this error message: 060609 11:06:29 InnoDB: ERROR: the age of the last checkpoint is 9433557, InnoDB: which exceeds the log group capacity 9433498. InnoDB: If you are using big BLOB or TEXT rows, you must set the InnoDB: combined size of log files at least 10 times bigger than the InnoDB: largest such row. which I interpreted as my log files at /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 and /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile1 being too small (still at default at 5M). I looked up some resources and they recommended setting the log file size to about 25% of my buffer size, which I had set to 256MB. So I added the line in /etc/my.cnf : innodb_log_file_size=50M But on restart i get the error: InnoDB: Error: log file ./ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 5242880 bytes InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 52428800 bytes! and my queries started failing too: 060609 12:05:39 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './db/available.frm' 060609 12:05:39 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './db/available.frm' 060609 12:05:39 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './db/site_info.frm' I reverted my config back to a default log file size, and everything went back to normal. Is there a proper procedure that I should follow for changing the log file size?

Size Of Ibdata1 File Keep Increasing And Never Decrease
I have a strange problem with innodb tables. I have about 10 innodb tables, a few of which can have tens of thousands of entries. These huge tables are clean up regularly. But the size of ibdata1 remained same even after the tables were dropped. Funny thing is that as new entries are added into the newly created tables, the size of ibdata1 increases. And eventually exhausts the disk space. I don't do any strange things with MySQL. Will indexing cause this kind of problem?

Reducing File Size (optimize Table)
I have had a DB where I added a huge amount of test data. Now, after having it processed, the DB contains only the date it will normally need. The point is that I can free up more than 1 GB, which will never be used again... I was told that "Optimize table my_table" should do the trick. I know that it orders tables etc... and should be able to free up unused space. Well, if it does, then it does not work for me. How can I reclaim my 1 GB of disk space?

Size Of Data
I need about a 1500 to 2000 character field and the only data type that seems feasable is TEXT but it can hold way more then 2000 characters. 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.

Compacting / Data Size
I am (still) running some tests (dispite my problems), and I'd like to know the size of data I have in order to calculate growth. As a test I added some data, 1.69 Gb to be exact to a database, working with it, then I deleted app 66% of it. When deleting it grew to 1.97 Gb. I'd like to schrik that, as it will never again hold that amount of data. But more important - I'd like to know how much of that is actual data. The point is, that Id like to delete even more data, and see the size (of data) again.

Bigger Table Size With Less Data?
I'm trying to change a table definition by dropping 2 columns from it because of normalization of data, also 1 index has to go away. The original .MYD file is 1.2Gb and the MYI 1.0Gb, the are about 20million records on it. First, I tryed the ALTER TABLE route, but it were more than 2 hours later and still was going on... I checked the directory where the files are stored and the mysqloral MYD file was reaching 1.6Gb, so I stopped it. Next I created a new table with the right schema, and issued a INSERT...SELECT from the original table, now the new MYD file is 1.7Gb and keeps growing. Would the source table be corrupt? or is it normal behavior? .....

Size Of TEXT Data Type.
How big is the TEXT datatype by default? 0 bytes? I.e. if you declare a column to be of type TEXT but do not populate that column in a given row, will it then occupy 0 bytes of memory in that row? (if it defaults to NULL). For that matter, will any column occupy 0 bytes of memory in any given row in which that column is not populated and where that column default to NULL? (I am thinking in terms of C/C++ where a pointer does not point to anything unless memory is explicitly allocated and referenced to it).

Fast SELECTs Versus Slow INSERTs With Indexes
I run a MySQL database using phpMyAdmin interfaced with an application written in C++, and most of my nine database tables have 500,000 - 2,000,000 records in them. These tables also have about five-to-six indexes each. This makes working with the C++ application extremely fast, which is nice. Any SELECT statements can be run in less than a second, and I'm very happy. The problem comes when I have to insert new records into the tables. Every morning, I am received a pipe-separated .txt file of the previous day's new records (about 500 - 1,000) that I have to insert into the tables using my C++ application. Well, this takes an excruciatingly long time (almost an hour, actually) and I need to find some way to make it run faster. I am thinking of several options here:

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?

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.

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.
