Name
OPTIMIZE
Synopsis
OPTIMIZE TABLE name
Recreates a table eliminating any wasted space. This is done by creating the optimized table as a separate, temporary table and then moving over to replace the current table. While the procedure is happening, all table operations continue as normal (all writes are diverted to the temporary table).
Example
OPTIMIZE TABLE mytable
