Hello,
if I want to add index to table with pt-online-schema-change, before running pt-online-schema-change I should check that there is at least
SELECT table_name AS "Table", round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) "Size in MB" FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = "$DB_NAME" AND table_name = "$TABLE_NAME";
space in my hard drisk (where $TABLE_NAME is name of the table I want to add index), right? Because AFAIK percona copies all data to temp table, do changes, and then rename temp table to old table. And probably I should account for space additional index will create, right?
