Saving space disk (innodb)

Saving space disk (innodb)

If you do what Baron suggests, you may want to set Innodb to create a
file-per-table - that way, in the future, you could save space when tables
are dropped, or you could recreate innodb tables individually to save space,
not have to dump all your innodb tables at one time.
