Repairing a table
Hi, Im having another problem with a large db. I have a 160Gig drive dedicated to the database partition and I have on database in particular that is taking up the space. My .MYD is 78Gig and my .MYI is 34 gig. Thats fine i have a couple of gig left, but whenever i try and do anything on it, the disk fills up and I have to run a repair table tablename quick to get it going and that takes forever since its quite large. Is there any other way that I could repair the index's quickly without having to wait up to 48 hours for the index to repair? Also, if i run out of diskspace, is there any way that I can get it working without truncating the data? Thanks alot Ian

Thanks. The table is repaired and working once again. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?

Repairing a table?
I'm running mysql v3.22.32 and encountered a corrupt key file for a table. I searched the documentation on the site, but it doesn't seem to pertain to this version of mysql any longer. I'm hesitant to upgrade to 3.23.32 until I can figure out what it might break. Does anyone have the steps that will allow me to repair a db table for 3.22.32? - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
