Yikes...I've been replying to myself! I forgot that when I reply to messages from the MySQL newsgroup on this e-mail account, it doesn't include mysql@lists.mysql.com, for some odd reason.
At any rate, I wanted to say that I have just ONE file type left - FRM. My MYD and MYI files have both vanished. But I took another look and discovered that SOME tables are represented by all three files, and when I paste them into my new MySQL > Data folder, they work just fine. I also discovered the following files in my backup folder: ibdata1...215,040 KB ib_logfile1...5,120 KB ib_logfile0...5,120 KB ib_arch_log_000000000...25 KB Can these somehow be used to reconstitute lost database tables? The situation isn't critical, as I can recreate most of these tables from my original data, which is on spreadsheets. But recreating all the fields and keys would obviously be a pain in the butt; I had over 100 tables. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
