I read this on MySQL, "ChangeSet@stripped, 2007-01-03 14:45:26+03:00, ted@stripped +7 -0 BUG #4291: max_heap_table_size affects creation of disk-based temporary table fix: the new system variable memory_tmp_table_size is introduced; it stands now for the exact purpose the Manual says tmp_table_size used to do. tmp_table_size retains to (give a hint about a) limit of the on-disk temporary table size. The limit imposed upon the disk-based temporary tables is still quite relative due to MyISAM current implementation restrictions." So I understand this buf was fixed to 5.X and tmp_table_size is now deprecated, isn't it? Thanks! Hi, excuse me for ask before find it better. I read this on MySQL,

“ChangeSet@stripped, 2007-01-03 14:45:26+03:00, ted@stripped +7 -0
BUG #4291: max_heap_table_size affects creation of disk-based temporary table

fix: the new system variable memory_tmp_table_size is introduced; it stands now for the exact purpose the Manual says tmp_table_size used to do.

tmp_table_size retains to (give a hint about a) limit of the on-disk temporary table size. The limit imposed upon the disk-based temporary tables is still quite relative due to MyISAM current implementation restrictions.”

So I understand this buf was fixed to 5.X and tmp_table_size is now deprecated, isn’t it?

Thanks!

Do you know if bug is fixed now? Peter says that "I constantly see temporary tables sized in gigabytes". Could you be so kind to explain to us how you see it? Thanks!! Hi again

last comment was on 2007. Do you know if bug is fixed now? Peter says that “I constantly see temporary tables sized in gigabytes”. Could you be so kind to explain to us how you see it?

Thanks!!

As MySQL old timer I did not get back to that page for other than new variables as I remember meaning about them. The quote I gave was from this url: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/memory-storage-engine.html I guess I would expect working do be different in this place to. It is probably hard to keep such large document synchronized. Thank you James,

I expect that the plan will be changed now Sergei knows that it would break backwards compatibility. A new synonym for tmp_table_size that is the memory limit and a new variable for disk size would do the job without breaking existing setups. Then tmp_table_size can be deprecated.

But now, after testing, I see that, indeed, tmp_table_size doesn't limit the size of on-disk tables (table->s->max_rows is set to limit it, but it's not copied to ci->max_rows for mi_create to see it) - it must be a bug too.
