 | |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 | |
| .PP
 | |
| The
 | |
| \fBmyisampack\fR
 | |
| utility compresses
 | |
| MyISAM
 | |
| tables\&.
 | |
| \fBmyisampack\fR
 | |
| works by compressing each column in the table separately\&. Usually,
 | |
| \fBmyisampack\fR
 | |
| packs the data file 40% to 70%\&.
 | |
| .PP
 | |
| When the table is used later, the server reads into memory the information needed to decompress columns\&. This results in much better performance when accessing individual rows, because you only have to uncompress exactly one row\&.
 | |
| .PP
 | |
| MySQL uses
 | |
| mmap()
 | |
| when possible to perform memory mapping on compressed tables\&. If
 | |
| mmap()
 | |
| does not work, MySQL falls back to normal read/write file operations\&.
 | |
| .PP
 | |
| Please note the following:
 | |
| .sp
 | |
| .RS 4
 | |
| .ie n \{\
 | |
| \h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
 | |
| .\}
 | |
| .el \{\
 | |
| .sp -1
 | |
| .IP \(bu 2.3
 | |
| .\}
 | |
| If the
 | |
| \fBmysqld\fR
 | |
| server was invoked with external locking disabled, it is not a good idea to invoke
 | |
| \fBmyisampack\fR
 | |
| if the table might be updated by the server during the packing process\&. It is safest to compress tables with the server stopped\&.

 | |
| .PP
 | |
| After you compress a table with
