Hi. I just saw that one of the tables in a pretty big MySQL-database here was corrupted. Checked the table with isamchk (yes, it's an ISD/ISM-database, not MYD/MYI), and found some errors, but corrected them. But, still the content are pretty .. uh, bad, and the backup isn't all that recent...
Is there any way to restore this? Does MySQL store some kind of backup of the tables itself? Or do I just have to dump in a backup ? Some neat samples of one of the varchar-fields in the table: \r^?\xa1\xce\xce<\x9c^E^X\n\x85:\xe6t\xe2\'k\x 9b\xd3\x89X(\xd4\xd61^G\xf9;C\xb3;Y\xa0\xed\xbfL\xc7?\xfe\xed\xbb\xf7>[\xee^U^H\xb0]^O\xdc{\xcf]\xfe\x87 |\xff\'\xfc\xff\x9f\xfe\xfd\xf9g\x99\xa61\xa6?\xca\xced^L\x91\xe4^W\x86L\xff^K^?\xec\xe75\xf9!\xb3\xbe^Y =\x9cv\xcd\xb6\x8c]\n8\x93~\xdc:\x86\xb1\xdez\xc6\xbe\xfe\xe4\xffQ\xbb^?\x95\xfc\xfd\xbf\xa1^?\xb7\xa3\' n\xa8','\xff\xbf\xa9\xe0\xff\xeb^?F1Z\xa6^U\xbf^K\xc5\xb5|\Z\x85F\xc4\xf5\x920\\\xf6X\x80\x8a\x92\xea\xe 8{^P\xe4\xf9\xf0\xff\xf4\x8fz^E\xe7\xcc\xa8`\xf4\x9f\x81\xba^T\xa1:Qc\xac`\xa3\xd8 R\xca^H\xc3+\xf8ay\\9 \xb2-E\xda2\xc6\xf5!6\x9c\xaa(1\xf2\xe1\xb0^Q\xe1\xff\xdb^?\xd7j\xf9\xafD^_\x9b\xab\xb7\xa5\xa9^W\x85h^Y \x93\xd1r&^C}g\xa4\x8cb2:\x9a\xc9h%\x93Q\xcc^F^T (there should be a name there ;) Also, can anyone explain what happened here? The database has been running smoothly for a -long- time, no users have access other than select on it, and this just happened out of the blue tonight. -- Trond Arve Nordheim - "This message is ROT13-encrypted twice for extra security." --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
