I think there are lots of possible reasons, but first thing to do is to check the mysql data directory for a karate directory. Look inside it. That's where your tables should be. I had a problem not too long ago where a table I wanted to work with was an innodb type table, but because of a config file issue, the innodb storage engine wouldn't start. So, the table was there, but because innodb wasn't active, weird things like that were happening. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
