InnoDB still stores .frm files for the benefit of the MySQL daemon. I'm no master of the InnoDB internals, but it wouldn't be surprised to find that the internal DD is a superset of what gets stored in the .frm files. Perhaps the MySQL devel mailing list might be a better place to look for information on the guts of InnoDB? -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
