Hi Stanley, You also have the options to indicates mysqld to checks and repairs tables automatically as it detects corruption or crash. Put in the section mysqld of your my.cnf file these 2 variables : first: set-variable = myisam-recover=BACKUP,FORCE (it will try to do 'safe' repair, otherwise make a backup of problematic table and a force repair) second: set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size=4M (if you have enough memory, use greater value; this accelerates the process of repair).
The automatic check and/or repair will leave a message in the .err file to indicates that a corruption or crash has occurs. PS: Try it with version 4.0.x Hope; this resolves Thierno6C :MySQL 4.0.15 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexis da Cruz Henriques Guia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Stanley Joseph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 5:31 PM Subject: Re: MYSQL table crashed and doesn't repair > > Execute in shell myisamchk --help > > This will list a serie of options to repair your tables.
