hi, someone else had a similar question, but didn't get any useful reply here on the list - I'll give it another try. :-)
I need some basic understanding of MySQL table crashes. Maybe you can help me, I think it's so basic, no one ever wrote about it. (Until now! ;)) The mysql manual just says 'if you have a crashed table you can repair it.' Well... 1. What IS a table crash? What file/relation/... gets corrupted? And how does table recovery basically work? 2. If you had a crashed table: Where would you start looking for the reason? And where would you look next? 3. What precautions can one take to avoid a table crash? Are there any symptoms that show up when a table crash is about to happen? (like: out of swap memory, disk full, too much system load, ...?) Any comments/hints/links appreciated, thanks in advance, regards, Roman -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
