Hello,
Under mysql 3.22.29, I was able to use isamchk to disable all index keys (-r -k0), do millions of inserts into the table, then re-enable all the indexes again with "isamchk -r -k4" (4 indexes). I'm testing out a new Redhat 7.2 Linux server with mysql 3.23.41, and am attempting to load a table with 30 million records, then re-enable the indexes. So, I use: > myisamchk -r -k0 new_table - recovering (with keycache) MyISAM-table 'new_table.MYI' Data records: 0 I then use an : insert into new_table from old_table; To load the table, but mysql still attempts to build the index file (MYI), greatly slowing down the table load. How can I entirely disable all indexes for a table, load it, then re-enable? Like I said, this is how it used to work under isamchk under 3.22.29. BTW, I am aware that myisamchk uses a bitmap to re-enable the indexes, but I haven't gotten to that point, since the indexes are being built upon the data load. Thanks, -Hank __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
