Re: question about restoring...
From the OP: I have a copy of the INNODB files for these two tables - is there a way to extract the table contents from these files short of a full import? I have to agree, that's quite ambiguous. Andy, is it a copy of the innoDB datafiles, or a database dump that you have ? In the latter case, it's reasonably simple to extract what you need; in the former case you're gonna have to try attaching them to a new instance - good luck with that. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
Re: question about restoring...
If you just need specific records, you can use -w option of mysql to extract only the specifc records. Then you can run the dump file into another db. regards anandkl On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 2:35 PM, Johan De Meersman vegiv...@tuxera.bewrote: From the OP: I have a copy of the INNODB files for these two tables - is there a way to extract the table contents from these files short of a full import?

Re: question about restoring...
Thanks, guys. I have copies of the innodb files. The boss went whole hog on using zfs for everything, so backups of files are readily available. Looks like I'll be having the db reconstituted... thanks again On 11/12/10 1:05 AM, Johan De Meersman wrote: From the OP: I have a copy of the INNODB files for these two tables - is there a way to extract the table contents from these files short of a full import?

RE: question about restoring...
I must have missed something way back in the beginning. I thought the original poster had a dump of his database. I have no idea if you can attach the innodb files to another database. I stand corrected.

question about restoring...
So, I got a request this morning to recover some specific records for a client. I just want a handful of records from a couple of tables here.

No, you should import the data into another instance of mysql to extract the records.

Then I guess it's a matter of preference. I'd rather edit a text file than build a new instance of MySQL. On the other hand, if he has a development environment (as we all, of course, do) then he could futz around in there.
