[snip] This box recently crashed as a result of a power outage (possible surge, my surge protector may have failed).... The box doesn't boot up, but the HD is ok... all my docs are there.. So, I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to get the MySQL 3 files and recreate them on another box we have here that runs MySQL 4.0. Is this possible? It wouldn't be as simple as getting the files from the dead box and putting them in the new box, would it?
[/snip] If these were myisam tables, assuming the files didn't get badly damaged, you should be able to copy the directory for each database you need to recover into the mysql datadir on the new host. You may have to use myisamchk to repair the indexes. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/myisamchk-syntax.html You will want to do all of this with mysqld stopped. --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
