Re: 9.1:  Well, can't find innodb* anywhere on the system
Re: 15.1: The second problem seems to be mine, the one about "orphaned' 
.frm files. That would seem to account for me seeing a tables list, but 
nothing about them. Obviously, the .frm files did exist. Couldn't drop the 
tables or the database ("Unknown table ...,...,...). Let me repeat: 
everything was just fine until I quit mysql. When I logged back in - with 
the same command, I use ksh and 'set -o vi' - that's when the issues started.

I got out of this trouble by shutting down the server, manually removing 
all InnoDB files (including .frm), then starting it again - which created 
the IDB files. I then used my script to create database and all the tables. 
And everything was fine until I logged out. I now logged back in and 
everything is still OK: I can desc tables, and so on. Just one issue: when 
I do SHOW CREATE ..., it still doesn't show any REFERENCES ... that I had 
when I created the tables. Either I'm exceptionally thick, or the docs 
really say that InnoDB has the capability to use the foreign keys... I took 
special care to reference only tables that already existed, in case it's a 
concern.

   Any idea? Also about how long will the tables stay healthy? I don't care 
about those 5 records I put in each, but to really test, I need to put a 
bit more...
