Re: Newbie asks error 1036 table read only?
Make sure mysql owns the tables and their directorys, and has write privileges to them. I talking about UNIX permissions here, not mysql permissions.

I am able to sign on to the database through the root, set myself up as a superuser in the user table, and have been able to set up test tables and make inserts etc. so it doesn't look like a permissions issue. I thought that converting the tables to myisam might help but of course I get the same error message. When I copied one of the smaller tables into a new table I was able to update it.

Check permissions on the table files. MySQL must be owner of these files.
