Hello Stephane, I use myisam for reading. I now use SQL for updating. When I used myisam for updating, tables sometimes corrupted, and I was unable to work out why. Currently I am changing programs to use HANDLER syntax not myisam for reading. This will: - Save the need for table locking. - Allo

I agree with Dan. We looked into this years ago. We have MANY machines with many tables used this way. It is easy when you realise that one SQL command can access multiple databases, using db1.tablea ... db2.tableb syntax. Stephen - Original Message - From: "Dan Greene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at the MySQL server error log. It should show messages about Shutting down. If it does not report the shutdowns, Unix would just be killing it, and that could be causing, not solving the problems. MySQL shutdowns might not happen when Unix is shutdown, because sometimes the rc.d script

mmend you try (order of preference): - Rewrite the reports to be set based not row based. Or - See if HANDLER syntax is quick enough. I think it will be. Or - See if you can cope with the myisam libraries. Or - Beef up your hardware and tweak everything. Good luck, Stephen Brownlo

I understand all of the reasons given by Alexander. Yet I think that in 99% of cases, it would be best for myisamchk to do as Mark suggest, and not run when a MySQL server is active. Safety would be the default. There could be a special option (--no-safety) for myisamchk to override that check. -
