I am using 3.22.32. The directrory where the databases lived was nearly full. Following the instructions in the manual, I stopped mysqld, I tar'd up the db's, moved them to the new location, created symlinks in the original location, restarted mysql (using safe_mysql). I now have the problem that inserts claim to work but I cannot access the data. For example: INSERT INTO main.houses (clientid, state, city, county) VALUES ('9999', 'Florida', 'Ft. Lauderdale', 'Broward County'); SELECT * from main.houses WHERE clientid=9999; Returns nothing. The only thing I can think of is that safe_mysqld needs a param that I am not passing it, but it has the databases, and the executables and the correct user. (I can connect to all db's, but cannot insert) Any help out there?
