It also can simplify administration, and help limit your liabilities in the event of catastrophic filesystem error. - md On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 3:18 AM, Trimurthy wrote: > hi lists 1. does the indexes require additional storage other than > the table space storage. 2. is there any performance difference > will be there, if we go for innodb_file_per_table. > > > > > > > Normal > 0 > > > > > false > false > false > > EN-US > X-NONE > AR-SA > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks & Kind Regards, > > TRIMURTHY > -- - michael dykman - mdykman@stripped May the Source be with you.
