Ooops, this makes a lot of sense - it works now.
Thanks for letting me know about the perror utility, it should help greatly to identify problems in the future.

I was working on some merge tables this morning and it worked fine, but after a few unsuccessful table creation requests (I was making some tests), I could not alter or select from a table for the following reason:
mysql> create table test_table (country CHAR(2) NOT NULL) TYPE=MERGE UNION=(countries); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test_table;
ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'test_table.MRG'. (errno: 143)
$ perror 143 Error code 143: Unknown error: 143 143 = Conflicting table definitions in sub-tables of MERGE table
Does your countries table layout match that of test_table?
