This is my first post to this list and I am a newbie at MySQL. If my question is a FAQ, please direct me to the FAQ board. The book I have, MySQL and mSQL by O'Reilly, says almost nothing about error codes... I'm using MySQL with WinNT4.0. I've got it up and running, however I can't drop tables after they have been created and data has been inserted into them. I get the following error: "ERROR 6: Error on delete of '.\testDatabase\member.MYI' (Errcode: 13)". And then I can' t even drop the whole database?!?! When I try to do that it gives me this error: "mysqladmin: drop of 'testDatabase' failed; error: 'Error dropping database (can't delete '.\testDatabase\member.MYD', errno: 5035465)'" And then, get this, after about 5 minutes of trying to delete the table, then trying to delete the database, getting back in and out of the database, i try dropping the database again, AND IT WORKS!!! What the heck is going on? Is there some delay in deleting a database or table? I have no idea what the problem is, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
