Sarah Sproehnle replied to Thomas A. Lekai's discussion ibdata grows exponentially when file-per-table is configured using InnoDB
"Hi Thomas, I haven't used the Percona patches, but I have seen similar issues with the stock InnoDB. The UNDO log entries can get written to the ibdata file(s), even though you may be using innodb_file_per_table. It is possible that there are…"

They are all fixed size.Type# of bytestinyint1smallint2mediumint3int4bigint8As you can see from the chart, an int is always 4 bytes. That can store signed numbers from -2 billion to +2 billion (and unsigned…See More

"FYI, there was a bug (fixed in the upcoming release of 5.1.41) that caused bad execution plans because the index statistics of only the first partition were used: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44059"
