I've created several merge tables from the command prompt. All seems well, the .frm and .MRG files are created. The contents of the .MRG files are accurate.
I flushed the tables (even restarted MySQL). I can see the newly created merge tables, but when I try to run a DESCRIBE or a SELECT COUNT(*) .... to verify the records counts, I get the following error message: ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'new_master.MRG'. (errno: 143) All table structures are identical. Am I missing a basic error numbers page in the online docs? I've found a few, but nothing comprehensive, like a page where I can enter an error number and find the detailed message, probable cause, recommdned action, etc. The only thing that I have been able to find is: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Error-returns.html which essentially confirms that an error 1016 is a problem opening a file. I am using MySQL version 3.23.56-nt on Windows2000. Any help, links or guidance would be greatly appreciated. /Tony -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
