Hi, Daniel,
First, here's a trick that *should* work for dumping out the data.
Change directory to the MySQL data directory, and then use this little
shell command:
for d in mysql test; do (cd $d; tables=`/bin/ls -1 *.frm | sed -e s,\\.frm,,`;
mysqldump $d $tables); done > tables_dump.sql
No such luck. A slightly modified script:
for d in dreams entropy incidents mysql; do cd $d; tables=`ls -l *.frm |
sed -e s,\\.frm,,`; mysqldump $d $tables -psome_password; cd ..; done >
tables_dump.sql
gives:
mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW TABLES LIKE '1'': Column
'TABLE_NAME' in field list is ambiguous (1052)
mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW TABLES LIKE '1'': Column
'TABLE_NAME' in field list is ambiguous (1052)
mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW TABLES LIKE '1'': Column
'TABLE_NAME' in field list is ambiguous (1052)
mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW TABLES LIKE '1'': Column
'TABLE_NAME' in field list is ambiguous (1052)
It seems that mysqldump wants to inspect the schema, which is borked.
I have backups of everything vitally important, but there is some poor
soul who has the same problem as me - he's responded to my post on the
list. Maybe you should give him a hand. I can get data out from the
mysql client if I know the table names already. Currently I haven't
actually done this ... mainly because I have backups of everything
important. If there is a way of reformatting the output of the mysql
client into .... say ... the output of mysqldump, then that would be
great. But as I said, I'm covered by backups, and I do realise the
danger of beta software.
I would be very interested in tracing this. I'd suggest that you do
make a copy of your /var/lib/mysql folder, just for completeness. If
you can create a bug report and attach that file, it would be perfect.
Or, feel free to just send it to me and I'll check it out and file a
report. If it's too large to send by e-mail, you could either FTP it to
ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/upload/ (let me know the file name)
I've entered a bug report at:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12475
I've ftp'd my /var/lib/mysql folder to the 'secret' directory on your
ftp site. The filename is:
issue_12475.tar.bz2
