RE: where are the .MYI and .MYD files?
To Jimmy Guerrero, Paul DuBois and Fred Ballard, Your information was very valuable, I already solved the problem, thank you. Misingo :-) Hello, A default install should drop data and databases into C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0.\data If you run something like: -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: where are the .MYI and .MYD files?
I've copied the data files in a flash memory and tried to see the tables [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: fields in another computer with the same server version and platform and get the db_name.tb_name table doesn't exist error message. However when I run the show tables command, the command line shows me the list of the tables... I believe SHOW TABLES only needs to see a .frm file to believe that a table exists. Having experienced these problems, and more, related to copying InnoDB files around I'd like to add a few other things. At a minimum, for an InnoDB database you also need to copy the ibdata1 file from the parent directory of where your .frm files are located. Also, the .frm files and ibdata1 files for the InnoDB should be from the same CREATE. I believe the ibdata1 file as well as the .frm files contain -- ironically, since the whole point of databases is to avoid redundant data -- redundant schema-related information. If they are not in sync the mapping between the .frm and ibdata1 information will probably thoroughly mess up your access to the underlying stored database data.

Hello, A default install should drop data and databases into C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0.\data If you run something like: mysql CREATE DATABASE test1; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql USE test1; Database changed mysql CREATE TABLE t (i INT) ENGINE = MYISAM; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.10 sec) Then go to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0.\data\test1 Do you see the following in that directory? T.frm T.myd T.myi The files aren't hidden or anything.
