MySQL Database System MYISAMPACK(1)
NAME
myisampack - generate compressed, read-only MyISAM tables
SYNOPSIS
myisampack [options] file_name ...
DESCRIPTION
The myisampack utility compresses MyISAM tables. myisampack
works by compressing each column in the table separately.
Usually, myisampack packs the data file 40% to 70%.
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.
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.
Please note the following:
o If the mysqld server was invoked with external locking
disabled, it is not a good idea to invoke myisampack if
the table might be updated by the server during the
packing process. It is safest to compress tables with
the server stopped.
o After packing a table, it becomes read only. This is
generally intended (such as when accessing packed tables
on a CD).
Invoke myisampack like this:
shell> myisampack [options] file_name ...
Each file name argument should be the name of an index
(.MYI) file. If you are not in the database directory, you
should specify the path name to the file. It is permissible
to omit the .MYI extension.
After you compress a table with myisampack, you should use
myisamchk -rq to rebuild its indexes. myisamchk(1).
myisampack supports the following options. It also reads
option files and supports the options for processing them
described at Section 4.2.3.4, "Command-Line Options that
Affect Option-File Handling".
o --help, -?
Display a help message and exit.

MySQL Database System MYISAMPACK(1)
o --backup, -b
Make a backup of each table's data file using the name
tbl_name.OLD.
o --character-sets-dir=path
The directory where character sets are installed. See
Section 10.5, "Character Set Configuration".
o --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
'd:t:o,file_name'. The default is 'd:t:o'.
o --force, -f
Produce a packed table even if it becomes larger than
the original or if the intermediate file from an earlier
invocation of myisampack exists. (myisampack creates an
intermediate file named tbl_name.TMD in the database
directory while it compresses the table. If you kill
myisampack, the .TMD file might not be deleted.)
Normally, myisampack exits with an error if it finds
that tbl_name.TMD exists. With --force, myisampack packs
the table anyway.
o --join=big_tbl_name, -j big_tbl_name
Join all tables named on the command line into a single
packed table big_tbl_name. All tables that are to be
combined must have identical structure (same column
names and types, same indexes, and so forth).
big_tbl_name must not exist prior to the join operation.
All source tables named on the command line to be merged
into big_tbl_name must exist. The source tables are read
for the join operation but not modified. The join
operation does not create a .frm file for big_tbl_name,
so after the join operation finishes, copy the .frm file
from one of the source tables and name it
big_tbl_name.frm.
o --silent, -s
Silent mode. Write output only when errors occur.
o --test, -t
Do not actually pack the table, just test packing it.
o --tmpdir=path, -T path

MySQL Database System MYISAMPACK(1)
Use the named directory as the location where myisampack
creates temporary files.
o --verbose, -v
Verbose mode. Write information about the progress of
the packing operation and its result.
o --version, -V
Display version information and exit.
o --wait, -w
Wait and retry if the table is in use. If the mysqld
server was invoked with external locking disabled, it is
not a good idea to invoke myisampack if the table might
be updated by the server during the packing process.
The following sequence of commands illustrates a typical
table compression session:

myisampack displays the following kinds of information:
o normal
The number of columns for which no extra packing is
used.
o empty-space
The number of columns containing values that are only
spaces. These occupy one bit.
o empty-zero
The number of columns containing values that are only
binary zeros. These occupy one bit.
o empty-fill
The number of integer columns that do not occupy the
full byte range of their type. These are changed to a
smaller type. For example, a BIGINT column (eight bytes)
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 6
MySQL Database System MYISAMPACK(1)
can be stored as a TINYINT column (one byte) if all its
values are in the range from -128 to 127.
o pre-space
The number of decimal columns that are stored with
leading spaces. In this case, each value contains a
count for the number of leading spaces.
o end-space
The number of columns that have a lot of trailing
spaces. In this case, each value contains a count for
the number of trailing spaces.
o table-lookup
The column had only a small number of different values,
which were converted to an ENUM before Huffman
compression.
o zero
The number of columns for which all values are zero.
o Original trees
The initial number of Huffman trees.
o After join
The number of distinct Huffman trees left after joining
trees to save some header space.
After a table has been compressed, the Field lines displayed
by myisamchk -dvv include additional information about each
column:
o Type
The data type. The value may contain any of the
following descriptors:
o constant
All rows have the same value.
o no endspace
Do not store endspace.
o no endspace, not_always
MySQL 5.5 Last change: 03/22/2013 7
MySQL Database System MYISAMPACK(1)
Do not store endspace and do not do endspace
compression for all values.
o no endspace, no empty
Do not store endspace. Do not store empty values.
o table-lookup
The column was converted to an ENUM.
o zerofill(N)
The most significant N bytes in the value are always
0 and are not stored.
o no zeros
Do not store zeros.
o always zero
Zero values are stored using one bit.
o Huff tree
The number of the Huffman tree associated with the
column.
o Bits
The number of bits used in the Huffman tree.
After you run myisampack, you must run myisamchk to
re-create any indexes. At this time, you can also sort the
index blocks and create statistics needed for the MySQL
optimizer to work more efficiently:
shell> myisamchk -rq --sort-index --analyze tbl_name.MYI
After you have installed the packed table into the MySQL
database directory, you should execute mysqladmin
flush-tables to force mysqld to start using the new table.
To unpack a packed table, use the --unpack option to
myisamchk.
