If you change the character set when running MySQL, you must run myisamchk -r -q --set-collation=collation_name on all MyISAM tables.

Hi

My problem isn't quite the same as the original poster's, but I suspect the solution may be the same. However, I'm having trouble running the myisamchk command.

I'm using the Unix Terminal in Mac OS X, with MySQL 5.0.19, and it won't let me get beyond a certain point in the file structure to find exactly where the files are. I can 'drill down' as far as the mysql directory, which has the promisingly-named data directory inside it. However 'cd data' tells me I don't have permission... but 'sudo cd data' simply repeats the same directory! I can't seem to get into data at all.

So... I tried guessing that the file I want - which is for a table called 'attractions' in the database 'aptguserdb' - might be at data/aptguserdb/attractions.myd (and .myi for the index), but when I try the myisamchk command with the full path to there I get 'file does not exist'.

I'm stumped! How exactly do I go about this?
