Setting innodb_file_format Barracuda needs innodb_file_per_table.

So, your (new created) Barracuda table is putted into one .ibd file.

Any other your Antelope tables (in other .ibd files or ibdata1) don't be affected that operation.

I have mix of Antelope/Barracuda for years in our production environment too, without any problem of that.

Oggetto: [Maria-discuss] question regarding innodb compression

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
