Hey Alex, Although I am not too sure what *.idb files are, I looked in the directory that I designated to store the InnoDB files and found the directory empty. Could this be it? I don't recall though ever deleting files from that directory.
How did you go about fixing this problem? -jg. -----Original Message----- From: Thurgood Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 20, 2005 3:22 AM To: John Gonzales Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: need help with foreign keys, new to mysql Le vendredi 19 août 2005 à 21:09 -0500, John Gonzales a écrit : Hi John, > #1005 - Can't create table '.\mydatabase\comments.frm' (errno: 150) > I've seen this error before. > now before i go and do something stupid, i thought i might ask for some help > on this issue :D both my blog and comments tables are InnoDB. > You haven't by any chance deleted or moved your *.idb files by any chance ? If you do that, then you screw up the indexes that InnoDB needs to access the tables. This has happened to me previously when I changed from MySQL-Max to mysql standard versions, and on another occasion when I deleted the idb files because I didn't know what they were and why they were so big compared to the data I actually had in my tables.
