Hi everyone! We have an InnoDB database with its respective ibdata file. As you probably know, the ibdata has a fixed initial size and may grow as more data is stored in the database. Curiously, when we delete data from the database, the size of the ibdata doesn't get smaller. I have searched forums and the mysql web site and found that this is not a bug, its just that InnoDB was designed that way. So, when we are about to run out of disk space, we have to dump the current data, erase the partition where the ibdata files are, recreate them with a smaller size, and finally load the dump back in. Has anyone encountered this situation? Does anyone have a different approach to this? I welcome any feedback!!
