Hello everyone,
We're going to be using the "MERGE TABLE" option of Mysql when we
build our Data Warehouse. Basically (for you Oracle folks), we're going
to mimic PARTITIONS. My question is this: Other than dumping syntax
through a utility and comparing text, is there any way I can read the
structure directly through the *.FRM or *.MYD files to make certain that
ALL tables match exactly so the MERGE will work?
Regards,

George,
You could try things like:
show tables like "myMergeTable%"
to get a list of tables making up the merge. (Assuming the name of the
merge tables all start with the similar name)
Then with the results of that query execute for each table name returned:
show columns from tablex
and
show index from tablex
You could then compare each tablex definition with each other, probably
using a program or even SQL if that is the route you wanted to take.
