3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide

System Reporter 2.8

If the policy value is set to now the compaction is done once and the value is automatically reset to 0.

To achieve compaction with MySQL databases, System Reporter uses the OPTIMIZE command. For Oracle databases System Reporter uses the ALTER TABLE SHRINK SPACE command. Refer to your SQLite, MySQL or Oracle database documentation for further information about database compaction using these commands.

For MySQL and Oracle databases, compaction is done by an external process so that data sampling can continue in parallel with database compaction. However, for SQLIte databases sampling is suspended until the compaction is complete.
