-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've just created a test database that will hopefully hold some address information for my employer. Due to time constraints and patience, I only exported 100,000 address records from their existing location, but am curious as to the database size that MySQL reports them using. I have all the records stored in the database now, but the size is just 1.0MB?? Surely this must be wrong? The address are fully quallified UK address from a trusted source. I am storing the data in TEXT type fields, because I am relatively new to MySQL (about 6 hours...) and wasn't sure what type was what. Any ideas if this is likely to be accurate?
