[Maria-discuss] question regarding innodb compression
by Rohan M C 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Hi all, Due to space constraints we are considering the innodb compression option for some of our larger tables. We're not compressing all the tables, but only a select few to begin with. Our current planned process for this is to SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format=Barracuda; create compressed table, transfer data, and switch innodb_file_format back to Antelope. My question is around having this mix of table file formats in the same database. I've tried test queries and they were fine, but is it ok to have a mix of both Antelope and Barracuda file format tables in the db for a production environment? Thanks, Rohan
