I get the following error when I try to query a table in a particular database (test). The error is generated for all tables within that database. However, 'mysql' database works fine. ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: 'TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY.ibd' (errno: 1) However, I have noticed that both the .frm and the .ibd file exists for the table TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY. Then why the error? I looked into the error log and it is as follows 060222 15:14:09 InnoDB error: Cannot find table test/TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY from the internal data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. Maybe you have deleted and recreated InnoDB data files but have forgotten to delete the corresponding .frm files of InnoDB tables, or you have moved .frm files to another database? Look from section 15.1 of http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html how you can resolve the problem. 060222 15:14:09 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't open file: 'TBL_FORUM_MSG_BODY.ibd' (errno: 1) I tried restarting MySQL service in the hope that INNoDB will recognise the files properly, but to no avail. Is there a way to find and correct what has gone wrong? Someone please say 'yes'... I am on MySQL 4.1.11 with InnoDB as the storage engine and with per-table tablespace.
