a similar problem happened to me and I got the error:
ERROR 1051: Unknown table '#sql-ffa_2,#sql-2b2_30'
After reading your post, I checked in the data directory and there are two files there, both of file type data:
#sql-2b2_30.frm #sql-ffa_2.frm
I certainly didn't put them there myself - I think they must have come from mySQL automatically at some point.
Are they real tables in the database? I can't see them when I use 'show tables'. Is it a permissions problem? I have this on another database that I was trying to restore from a dump. I had to rename the database in the end.
I am using InnoDB tables for some of my data.

Feng,
do you have some non-MySQL file in that database directory under the datadir of MySQL?
Naturally, MySQL will not drop the directory if it contains something more than just MySQL tables.

Subject: Re: can NOT drop the database
Not at all!!
after I typed the 'drop database my_account_database', I got the following message:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00sec).
and I do the 'show databases', that one is still there.

no permissions errors ?
Greetings,
I have a database called 'my_account_database' and I tried to drop it by the command 'drop database my_account_database', it doesn't work. The database is still there, can not be dropped although the tables contained in the database have gone.
I subsequently created another 2 databases and could drop them successfully.
Tried the 'drop database my_account_database' again before sending
this
message, still doesn't work.
So, what could be the problem? Have you seen this situation before?
btw, I can't find out any command which can be used to simply rename a database, please advise!!
cheers,
feng
