Pack a MyISAM-table to take much less space.
Keys are not updated, you must run myisamchk -rq on the index (.MYI) file
afterwards to update the keys.
You should give the .MYI file as the filename argument.
Usage: /usr/bin/myisampack [OPTIONS] filename...
-b, --backup Make a backup of the table as table_name.OLD.
--character-sets-dir=name
Directory where character sets are.
-#, --debug[=name] Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename'.
-f, --force Force packing of table even if it gets bigger or if
tempfile exists.
-j, --join=name Join all given tables into 'new_table_name'. All tables
MUST have identical layouts.
-?, --help Display this help and exit.
-s, --silent Be more silent.
-T, --tmpdir=name Use temporary directory to store temporary table.
-t, --test Don't pack table, only test packing it.
-v, --verbose Write info about progress and packing result. Use many -v
for more verbosity!
-V, --version Output version information and exit.
-w, --wait Wait and retry if table is in use.
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
