MySQL Tablespace Full: 3 Fixes
When the MySQL tablespace is full, you can choose from the following options:
- “Cleaning unnecessary data: You can free up table space by deleting unnecessary data or archiving historical data.”
- Optimize table structure: You can reduce table space usage by optimizing the table structure, such as deleting unnecessary indexes and adjusting field types and lengths.
- Increase table space: You can solve the problem of a full table space by either adding data files or expanding the table space.
- Partitioning table: consider partitioning the table to distribute data across different data files in order to reduce the pressure on a single table space.
- Compression table: Using compression tables can reduce the space usage, but it is important to note that compression may affect query performance.
- Utilize external storage: Consider storing some data on external storage to reduce the usage of table space.
