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... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> snip! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THX! -------------------------------------------------- sql, query --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
