MySQL has an OPTIMIZE TABLE command which can be used to reclaim unused space in a MySQL install. Is there a way (built-in command or common stored procedure) to run this o

Answer 1

This bash script will accept the root password as option and optimize it one by one, with status output:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ] ; then
  echo
  echo "ERROR: root password Parameter missing."
  exit
fi
MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASS=$1
MYSQL_CONN="-u${MYSQL_USER} -p${MYSQL_PASS}"
TBLLIST=""
COMMA=""
SQL="SELECT CONCAT(table_schema,'.',table_name) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE"
SQL="${SQL} table_schema NOT IN ('information_schema','mysql','performance_schema')"
for DBTB in `mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} -ANe"${SQL}"`
do
    echo OPTIMIZE TABLE "${DBTB};"
    SQL="OPTIMIZE TABLE ${DBTB};"
    mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} -ANe"${SQL}"
done
