Has anyone had the following problem or anything related to this ? I've had some problems where my data gets "deleted" after I add or drop a column.
The scenario is as follows. 1)mysql daemon is running. 2)make a structure change to table/add or drop column 3)stop and restart mysql daemon 4)look at table , the data is gone. 5)stop and restart mysql daemon 6)look at table, the data is back. I'm also running safe_mysqld as recommended. Is there some sequence of events that must happen for a proper shutdown and restart of the mysql daemon ? Or is there some process I need to do before I call an alter table to make a change to a table structure ? I thought maybe this is associated with flush log/checkpoint process happpens with BDB tables ? Can anyone confirm this ? --Terribly confused. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
