Max_data_length 1 Terrabyte?

[Leo Druyanov]

Hi ALL,

I have a table tab1, which is "full".

Here are some data:

Max_data_length=4294967295
Max_rows=240849
Avg_row_length=16400


After I recevie a message, that table tab1 is full, I executed;

MYSQL> ALTER TABLE tab1 max_rows=524288 AVG_ROW_LENGTH=16400;
Query OK, 240849 rows affected (16 min 58.20 sec)
Records: 240849 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

And then:

Max_data_length=1099511627775
Max_rows=240849
Avg_row_length=16400


So, the Max_data_length parameter must be about 8 Gigabyte, but it is
1 Terrabyte now.

SuSE linux 9.2
MySQL 3.23.55

What is wrong???

Kind regards,
Leo

Any help will be appreciated
