Hello Dave, Phew... what a situation! ;-)
You can always run mysql_install_db script on *NIX, but it clears your existing permissions. On Windows you can do an xcopy for your mysql database from the distribution package, but that doesn't save your permissions, either. First, though, make sure that you really don't have any disk files in the data\mysql directory. If there are any .MYD and .MYI files, they can contain your permissions. The .frm files can then be copied from another similar server (they only contain the table definitions, not the actual data). What about backups? ;-) Regards, Iikka ****************************************** * Iikka Meriläinen * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vaala, Finland * ****************************************** On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Dave Reinhardt wrote: > I seem to have lost the "mysql" database tables. > I have other databases that work. > what is the best way to add the right tables to mysql > Dave > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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?
