RE: can't drop database: ERROR 1217
Dean, Seems your database has a table with foreign key constraints. You need to delete that table first and then you will be able to drop database successfully. Hope that helps!!!

RE: restoring a database from tape
Victor, Will this not work for Innodb tables? If my backup also includes system tablespaces and .ibd files ( we using multiple tablepsace), will that be a problem?

The /usr/local/mysql dir was backed up to tape before EOLing. Having now installed a new machine, we need to copy the old database from tape to the new machine. Mysql has been successfully installed on the new machine. To install the database, can I just copy the ../mysql/data directory from the tape to the corresponding dir on the new machine? thanks for your time. -M _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Innodb Hot backup
Egor, If I write a script myself that backup .frm, .ibd and all log files, how good that backup will be? Idea is not to shutdown the server though. Also I am using Innodb tables, and mysqlhotcopy will not for Innodb. Innodb Hot backup tool works, but I would prefer some free tool to do so. Writing a script to backup .ibd and logfiles shouldn't be that bad, but just wanted to make sure if that will be an ideal backup as in online documentation it said this is the right way to do if you able to shut down the server. I know this question was asked numerous times in the list before, but i wasn't able to narrow it down to a single solution. If you know any other alternative please let me know.

RE: urgent help required for mysql
Sanjay, It seems you didn't run mysql_install_db script which is located in /scripts directory. This script creates Grant tables for you when you first install mysql. Basically the error says you missing those grant tables, you can re-run the script and recreate them. Hope that helps!!

Creating Innodb Database
In the MySQLdocumentation, it does not clearly explains how a Tablespace is created. Under Creating a Tablespace heading ( 14.4.4), it says how a Innodb database is created but not tablespace. Also how exactly you create an Innodb Database. Well it says in the documentation that when you enter the cmd mysqld it creates an Innodb Database, what if I want to have more than one Innodb Database within a server. Do I have to run multiple instances of mysqld. Can someone help here?
