Re: ERROR 25 (HY000): Can't create symlink
Hello. May be comments at: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1649 would be helpful for you. Does the altering successful if you executed a FLUSH TABLES before?

Re: ERROR 25 (HY000): Can't create symlink
Hi Andy, I see that. Unfortunately, I have no idea why mysql is trying to create a symlink to a symlink it just created. Does anyone have any idea why mysql would do that?

Doing some research with Google I found someone had a similar problem when they were using symlinks from files in mysql's datadir to the actual location of their data files. In my case the contents of /var/lib/mysql/Logs are actual files and not symlinks.

Hi Mark, There's perror to check what happen, so when you have Error 17 you check from your bash shell like this # perror 17 Error code 17: File exists Gotcha ! The reason is file exists :) Good luck Mark Uhrmacher wrote: Hi all, I've been getting a strange error when attempting to add an index to a set tables that make up a merge table.
