以下论述均假定innodb_file_per_table开启
先用常规optimize回收：
mysql> select count(*) from t; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 1200096 | +----------+ [mysql@even employees]$ ls -alh t.ibd -rw-rw---- 1 mysql dba 72M 10-08 17:39 t.ibd mysql> delete from t limit 800000; mysql> select count(*) from t; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 400096 | +----------+ [mysql@even employees]$ ls -alh t.ibd -rw-rw---- 1 mysql dba 72M 10-08 17:41 t.ibd mysql> optimize table t; +-------------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +-------------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | employees.t | optimize | note | Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead | | employees.t | optimize | status | OK | +-------------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ [mysql@even employees]$ ls -alh t.ibd -rw-rw---- 1 mysql dba 29M 10-08 17:43 t.ibd
来看下这种方法的缺陷
mysql> show processlist; +----+------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+-------------------+------------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +----+------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+-------------------+------------------+ | 5 | root | localhost | NULL | Query | 0 | NULL | show processlist | | 6 | root | localhost | employees | Query | 64 | copy to tmp table | optimize table t | +----+------+-----------+-----------+---------+------+-------------------+------------------+
mysqladmin debug结果如下
Thread database.table_name Locked/Waiting Lock_type 6 employees.t Locked - read Read lock without concurrent inserts
用optimize缺点显而易见：读锁，特别当你有大表时性能恐怕会深受影响
这里推荐使用percona公司：pt-online-schema-change，避免加锁
$ pt-online-schema-change -uroot -poracle --alter "ENGINE=InnoDB" D=employees,t=t --execute
执行pt工具时有可能发生的类似错误：
Cannot chunk the original table There is no good index and the table is oversized
这是因为被作用的表需要含有主键或者唯一索引，这或许也能成为这款工具的小bug吧
