MySQL Physical Shrink?
Our webhost company has told us we are over their 100MB limit in terms of the diskspace they will allocate to our MySQL db. i am a newbie with MySQL.
Is there a way you can try to physically shrink a MySQL database. Much like in Access and SQL Server. If so, can anybody point me in ther right direction in doing so. Thanks.
