How to optimize mysql database
Recently I did run into issue where I just needed to optimize my database. Have few of them in mysql and then each of those databases have all bunch of tables. Now, I can issue:
mysql -u root -ppassword -e ‘show databases’
this will display list of all my databases, then I can connect to each individual database and issue the following sql statement:
OPTIMIZE TABLE tbl_name;
But this is quite manual process. Easier way is to just use mysqlcheck utility on the whole database rather than each individual tables.
mysqlcheck -o dspam -u root -ppassword
The mysqlcheck program can also be used to check (-c/-m/-C), repair (-r) and analyze (-a) the tables in a database. These commands can be done by using the CHECK, REPAIR and ANALYZE MySQL commands.
So anyway I did put this into some script and can easily execute it on every database that I have in my mysql
