First try, the nice way. USE; DROP TABLE ApplicationLog; If this fails, complains about curruption, whatever, go to the next step safely: shutdown mysql (os-specific), then go ahead and delete those files. Startup will happen normally and those tables will be gone. Caution: you *might* be running an application that is expecting to use those tables... now that they are gone, that application might begin to fail. Be prepared to create a new empty table with that name having the same structure,... if you really don't want the data but are only doing it to make your app happy, consider the black-hole database engine. - michael dykman On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 3:33 PM, Jones, Keven wrote: Hello, I am new to MySQL.I have a disk space issue and I have found that 3 files are the cause.

Then I'm confused as to what you're suggesting I do. I need to create mysqldump files of *parts* of a table in a database, because the entire table is just too big to move under the current circumstances. So, the end result should be a bunch of little mysqldump files that are each a part of this table in this database. Then I need to be able to rebuild the table by inserting the parts. Can you suggest a way to do that? TIA, Tony if you have shell access on the server, why not just use split? Create your big dump file, split it into smaller chunks and use cat on the other end to reassemble the pieces. if you don't, just have someone at your host provider who does do it.

If you're into Perl, I believe there are at least a couple of modules that will write out data into Excel files. Otherwise I would go the ODBC route and make Excel connect to the DB via macros or VBA.

If you want to run on Solaris 2.6, you'll need to compile from the sources. I've gone through several versions running on a Sparc 20 under Solaris 2.6 without any issues or problems building.

MySQL unix vs WinXP case sensitivity
I seem to be having issues with the way MySQL names the table files under Unix and WinXP. I'm not sure if it's a mysql issue or a windows issue. Normally, when I create tables in MySQL, I like to capitalize the first letter. Under unix, it all works fine and dandy. But under WinXP, the table name gets converted to all lowercase, which consequently messes up my php files when I try to go back and forth between unix and windows. I suppose I could switch to all lower case, but old habits die hard and I sometimes forget when I'm typing away some PHP code. The MySQL I installed is from the download page at mysql.com. anybody else run into this issue?

Re: 127.0.0.1 problem
I would check the grant tables to see if host 127.0.0.1 has permission to access the DB. Even though they are the same thing, I don't know if mysqld treats them as the same thing.

database documentation
What tools do people use to document their databases? Are there graphical tools that will generate relational diagrams of a database (like in Access)? One of the databases I've been developing is starting to grow as I add additional tables to hold different pieces of data. At the moment, my documentation comes from adding comments and CREATE statements to the result of an earlier mysqldump file. Back when I only had 7 or 8 tables, this was fine, but now my database is starting to approach 25 tables, so some of the relationships are starting to get a little hard to keep track of.

Sending data from Excel to MySQL
I was wondering if someone could direct me to some resources where I could teach myself how to export data from Excel to a MySQL database. I have a number of spreadsheets I use for data collection, and have recently set up a MySQL database to stash the data in. I've managed to figure out how to copy/paste blocks of data into an HTML form and have PHP stick the data into the database. I'm looking for a way I can do it from within Excel now, since there are more blocks of data I need to store which are scattered throughout the spreadsheet. I'd like to automate the process a little more and go beyond the copy/paste thing. I've looked at MyODBC a little bit, but not enough to see how I can use it for this task (one of the things on my to do list). I expect I'll end up learning some VB for doing this.
