Manual de Referência do MySQL :: 7.5.16.1 MySQL/InnoDB-4.1.1, December 4, 2003

Multiple tablespaces now available for InnoDB. You can store each InnoDB type table and its indexes into a separate .ibd file into a MySQL database directory, into the same directory where the .frm file is stored.

The MySQL query cache now works for InnoDB tables also if AUTOCOMMIT=0, or the statements are enclosed inside BEGIN ... COMMIT.

Reduced InnoDB memory consumption by a few megabytes if one sets the buffer pool size < 8 MB.

You can use raw disk partitions also in Windows.
