Hi there, I'm running Freebsd 5.3 and just installed mysql-standard-4.1.9-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386. I'm able to run mysqld and mysql, etc. I used to run Freebsd 2.2 and I think it was mysql 3.21.33b... I'm not sure. My old system faded away rather abruptly and I didn't get a chance to do database backups or anything.
I have one database that I'd like to recover. The database had 5 tables in it. Each one had three files associated with it, ie editors.ISD, editors.ISM and editors.frm. I have access to the tables but can't load them into my new mysql. I copied them into /usr/local/mysql/data/BagusDatabase and made sure the permissions were the same as my test directory. I have been reading around and thought I came across the answer with the mysql_convert_table_format script. I tried changing into my new BagusDatabase directory and running: mysql_convert_table_format --user='root' --password='mypassword' --type='ISA M' BagusDatabase The script then reports: Converting tables: converting editors Can't convert editors: Error Can't find file: 'editors.MYI' (errno: 2) I bet this is old hat for some of you out there. Can someone help me figure out how to recreate my database?
