hi guys,

I get the following in one of my tables:

Space usage : Type Usage
Data 1,388 Bytes
Index 2,048 Bytes
** Overhead 56 Bytes **
Effective 3,380 Bytes
Total 3,436 Bytes

"Overheads" appears in red. What does this mean?

Thanks.

When you delete records it is still there using space...

OPTIMIZE TABLE mytable;
