You don't have ANY idea what branch it was created with? 3.2x, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 ? I'd recommend finding another similar server in your dept and see what it's running (assuming there's no standards doc, or sysadmin to ask, etc).
Do you remember around when the time was that you last installed/upgraded mysql on the box? If so you might be able to figure out which release it was. You can try to use something in the same branch -- if it was 4.1.something, try the latest in the 4.1 branch. Where were your backups stored? If you used mysqldump it logged the server version at the top of the output file. -Sheeri On 5/5/06, Nils Lastein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
After a disk crash I managed to save the *.frm, *.MYD and *.MYI-files from the disk. When putting these files into another mysql server I get: mysql> select * from validate; ERROR 1033 (HY000): Table './mydb/validate' was created with a different version of MySQL and cannot be read Unfortunately I'm unable to access the disk anymore, so I cannot see what version of the server generated these.
