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
