Hi, I have a script which updates a mysql table. When I run this script the update in not happening. But if I stop mysql and start in safe mode as follows mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root & then the update script is running properly. Why it is not happening in the non safe mode. Could somebody help me. Your help will be appreciated.
