Hi List,
Is it possible to change data and log files (ibdata and iblogfiles copied for backup purpose) on the fly?
No, you must shut down the server cleanly.
Will something like this work?? 1. Close all client connections 2. Flush and disable further client connections. 3. Copy ibdata and iblogfiles from backup dir 4. SIGHUP mysqld.
What does mysqld does when it receives SIGHUP ?
Thanks, Sp.Raja
