Roger, Are the files that you mentioned stored in the directory for the db ?

None. It creates a new directory only. When you create a table, and the used table handler is MyIsam, three new files are created: *.frm, *.MYI (index) and *.MYD (data). If the table handler is InnoDb, only the *.frm file is created, the indexes and data are stored in innodb tablespace. -- Roger sql --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
