Re: Upgrading databases?
Hi Seth - I believe MySQL's official position is that you should always dump-and-load the data when upgrading major or minor versions (4.0 to 4.1, 4.1 to 5.0, etc.) I've done it both ways (dump-load and just moving table files) and have never had a problem with either, even when moving files across OS platforms *knock on wood*. That said, I think you might find dump-and-load just the ticket to work around the problem you're having. What you're doing *should* work, but since it isn't, I'd try another avenue myself to avoid spending much more time on it. Something as simple as mysqldump -u root -ppassword -h hostwith41 --all-databases | mysql -u root -ppassword -h hostwith51 would do it, if you want to transfer everything Mind that you've got an appropriate network connection - you wouldn't want to make your laptop on home wireless with DSL the in-between if you have 50GB of data to transfer. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions. Dan On 6/21/07, Seth Seeger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Jun 21, 2007, at 12:21 PM, Gerald L.

I tried running it two different ways: # myisamchk -e -r users - recovering (with sort) MyISAM-table 'users' Data records: 1283 - Fixing index 1 Found block with too small length at 101420; Skipped # myisamchk -c -r users - recovering (with sort) MyISAM-table 'users' Data records: 1283 - Fixing index 1 I still get the same error when I try to access the table.
