PHP / MySQL Database Optimization Function
After frequent record deletion from your MySQL database tables, your tables can acquire overhead. Overhead is empty space left inside the database table due to the deletions. A great way to speed up your MySQL database, not to mention keep it compact, is to use a simple PHP function to optimize your database tables:
/* OPTIMIZE ALL TABLES */
function optimize_database($DATABASE_LINK) {
$result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES', $DATABASE_LINK) or die('Cannot get tables');
while($table = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
mysql_query('OPTIMIZE TABLE '.$table[0], $DATABASE_LINK) or die('Cannot optimize '.$table[0]);
}
}
I use the $DATABASE_LINK variable to keep my connection throughout my PHP script. Obviously it's not required, so you can modify the above function if you don't keep that variable.
![Create Namespaced Classes with MooTools]()
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
![Write Better JavaScript with Promises]()
You've probably heard the talk around the water cooler about how promises are the future. All of the cool kids are using them, but you don't see what makes them so special. Can't you just use a callback? What's the big deal? In this article, we'll...
![Dynamically Load Stylesheets Using MooTools 1.2]()
Theming has become a big part of the Web 2.0 revolution. Luckily, so too has a higher regard for semantics and CSS standards. If you build your pages using good XHTML code, changing a CSS file can make your website look completely different.
![Fade Images with MooTools LazyLoad]()
I recently received an email from a MooTools developer asking a great question about my LazyLoad class:
"I'm using your LazyLoad MooTools plugin (which is great, by the way). I have been trying to figure out how to modify it so that once an image scrolls into...

With a PHP script, you can have it as a stand alone (with connection info), or you can put it as part of your code, as I have.
Great script. I was looking for a way to compact a MySQL database, and this is perfect. Thanks.
This article is like my ass,
its big shit
@trimd: hei trimd, you so stupid!
if you want fast compact you can make a program with delphi or VB6 to compact it. i make a application to compact my mysql database 370MB (7years period) become 90MB. Look more carefully trimd.
make a little application to compact it, use Delphi or VB6
don’t look others samples
grow trimd !
for more explanation go to mysql site.
or dev forum for VB
try to become great programmer.
not like junior!
Thanks, for the scripts because so far I have only seen two, the one for backing up the tables and this one above. They all look to be great and I’m use them in the my project.
Thanks. I grabbed this code and created a WP plugin. Thanks again. :-)
