I have a MySQL database table full of like 12000 records on a FreeBSD box with apache/php4. and what I have is a script that when I run it, it deletes all records, and rebuilds this table with the updated 12000 records. But what happens, it keeps the size of the table huge, and only adds to it. Is there some way that after ive told PHP to delete all records, to optimize the table before writing all the new records ? Any help would be great.
