The message you received after running `OPTIMIZE TABLE detail;` indicates that the `detail` table does not support the `OPTIMIZE` operation. Instead, MySQL will perform a `RECREATE` and `ANALYZE` operation.
The `OPTIMIZE TABLE` statement is used to reorganize and optimize the physical storage of a table, defragmenting its data and indexes. However, not all storage engines support this operation. The InnoDB storage engine, which is the default for modern MySQL installations, does not support the `OPTIMIZE TABLE` command.
When `OPTIMIZE TABLE` is used on an InnoDB table, MySQL performs a recreate and analyze operation instead. This means the table is recreated from scratch, and the data is copied to a new tablespace. Afterward, the table's statistics are updated and analyzed to ensure the query optimizer has accurate information about the table's data distribution.
The status message you received, `OK`, indicates that the operation completed successfully.
Keep in mind that the `OPTIMIZE TABLE` or `RECREATE` operation can be resource-intensive and may require sufficient free disk space to create a temporary table. Therefore, it is essential to run this command during a maintenance window or when the server has enough resources to handle the operation without impacting ongoing production traffic.
Additionally, running `OPTIMIZE TABLE` or `RECREATE` frequently might not always be necessary, especially for InnoDB tables, as InnoDB handles data fragmentation and storage optimization more efficiently compared to older storage engines like MyISAM. It's often more beneficial to focus on other performance optimizations like proper indexing, query tuning, and server configuration.
