Automatically optimize all tables in a MySQL database
Posted by webdigity on June 9, 2006
Use this script preferably with a cronjob to automatically optimize all the tables in your mysql databases. Under root privilleges the script will search for all the databases in your server and will optimize them all. Hope you will like it as it took me more than 3 hours to write it

Why are you don’t use mysqlcheck application? I think it will be easier to run this program from crontab with appropraite option. MOre detail are here:

mysqlcheck is a little slow, but the most important is that it can break tables that have unicode charsets.
Anyway this script optimizes only tables that want optimization, while the mysqlcheck optimizes everything.

Thanks.
I’ve found mention of how one should run a FLUSH TABLES after optimizing one’s db.
Yes/No?
Thanks,
