release disk space by drop database ?

Hi all,

OS. linux 2.4.22
MYsql : 4.0.18-standard

I created a database and populate 2 big InnoDB tables, the total size
is > 3G. After all testing, I droped the database .

But, the harddisk space is not release to the filesystem, Why, How
could I recover that ?

Thanks.

Section 14.2.8 DROP DATABASE Syntax of the online user manual has user
comments that imply foreign key constraints may prevent some or all
tables from being removed. One suggests issuing this:
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHE CKS = 0;
prior to the drop to avoid the problem.

The question is, we have two options to store images, either in a Database (MySQL, Postgres, ...) like blob data, or in the hard disk the file and the path in database. Which option is better? When? Why? Thanks you for your answers.

I have a linux server which is hosting several very large (~20GB) databases. In order to save some disk space I dropped an index on one of the larger (InnoDB) tables because it is no longer needed. It took about 30 minutes for MySQL to drop the index, during which time I saw the free disk space decrease. I didn't think anything of it while the drop operation was running because I figured it was some kind of temp file being used by the drop...

Hi All, I noticed if file path has a white space, for example "C:\my document \test.txt", the function File.Exists(filePath) always return false in release mode. How could I make this function work for the file which is located in a direcotry with a white space? Thanks!

CASE 1: The following sentences were copied from the book "Administration Guide Performance". "If more pages have been written to disk, recovery of the database is faster after a system crash because the database manager can rebuild more of the buffer pool from disk instead of having to replay transactions from the database log files."

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
