Hi Vicki, If you have a backup of the .MYD file, you should be able to copy this over the existing one and run myisamchk -r to rebuild the index.

Ewwch. I may have a backup. I definitely have the data. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to put the data back into the db. On the other hand, it's not my weblog, it's seen very little activity over its lifetime, the last entry was September and the owner is temporarily "off the Internet". So it couldn't have happened to a less important database. Still. I wonder what crashed. -- Vicki Brown ZZZ Journeyman Sourceror: SF Bay Area, CA zz |\ _,,,---,,_ Scripts & Philtres http://www.cfcl.com zz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_Code, Doc, Process, QA http://cfcl.com/vlb |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'Perl, Unix, Mac OS X, WWW ____________________ '---''(_/--' `-'\_) ___________________________ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
