Jean,
Here is the format for the SHOW TABLE STATUS command from
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/SHOW_TABLE_STATUS.html:

SHOW TABLE STATUS [FROM db_name] [LIKE wild]

You are using FROM <TABLENAME> not your database's name. Try this:

SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM jeandatabase

and see if it works better ;)

Hello, everyone

I am new on MySQL.

I created several tables by command:

%mysql jeandatabase -u root -h localhost -p <
jean1.sql

and jean1.sql is as follows:

use jeandatabase;
drop table if exists jean1;
create table jean1(  id int not null,
  field1 char(9),
  primary key(id)
);

But, when I try to take a look on the table1 status
by:

mysql> show table status from jean1;

It gave me the following error:

ERROR 12: Can't read dir of './jean1/' (Errcode: 2)

I think it supposes that there would be a sub-directry
under .../jeandatabase/, and named jean1.

But when I cd to /usr/local/mysql/data/jeandatabase/

There are three files:
jean1.MYD
jean1.MYI
jean1.frm

I wonder if the way I import the table is not correct.

Could anyone give me some ideas about this problem?
Thank you very much.

Jean
