    Hi everyone.There has been a bug in mysql (since the past 10 yrs or so) that the ibdata file size keeps on growing forever.Check link http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341
    I am currently using the free version of mysql-server-5.5 which has this bug.Therefore,i am planning to switch to the mysql enterprise edition.Can anyone please tell me whether this problem persists on the commercial version of the product too?Please help.

    I don't think Enterprise version solves this problem either. But you can slow down this by forcing MySQL to create each InnoDB table to its own table space by my.cnf option innodb_file_per_table. This post will help you to reclaim your space.

    I assume you are purposely using innodb. One solution would be to convert to MyISAM but you probably have a reason not to..
