Alas, none that I am aware of, but if you can successfully run 'SHOW
CREATE TABLE `ApplicationLog`' before you drop the table, it will give
you the DDL you need to recreate that table *exactly*.

I don't want to lose the table structure just wish to get rid of the old data
in the .MYD and .MYI files.
If I drop the table I will need to recreate the table with the existing
structure.
So is there a way to just clear out the ApplicationLog.MYD and
ApplicationLog.MYI files?
Thx again

Subject: Re: Correct way to start new .MYD& .MYI files
If you are prepared to accept that any data associated with those tables is
*LOST*, it's pretty simple.
First try, the nice way.
USE<whateverdatabasethisisin>;
DROP TABLE ApplicationLog;
If this fails, complains about curruption, whatever, go to the next step safely:
shutdown mysql (os-specific), then go ahead and delete those files.
Startup will happen normally and those tables will be gone.
Caution: you *might* be running an application that is expecting to use those
tables... now that they are gone, that application might begin to fail. Be
prepared to create a new empty table with that name
having the same structure,... if you really don't want the data but
are only doing it to make your app happy, consider the black-hole database
engine.

Hello,
I am new to MySQL.I have a disk space issue and I have found that 3 files are
the cause.
The files are ApplicationLog.MYD and ApplicationLog.MYI
I would like to purge these files and basically get rid of the data
that is in them. What is the proper Way to accomplish this? Does
anyone have a procedure to follow that will allow me to archive these files and
Then start new ones so I can get my disk space back?
Thanks in advance.
