Hello All, I came accross an interesting delima today after working on a client's database, they are using MySQL 3.23.32 on a linux box. The database had 12 tables in it, and almost all of them where displaying the corrupted table handler error, these where ISAM tables. Now I used isamchk to repair one them, but was unable to fully restore back, so on a hunch, I changed all the tables to MYISAM types and, low-and-behold, all the tables came back, working perfectly, except the one table that lost it's data. they had no backups, but all the other corrupted tables, including the data, all came back without running either isamchk or myisamchk utilities! I just thought I'd pass this on. :) Mike(mickalo)Blezien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Thunder Rain Internet Publishing Providing Internet Solutions that work! http://www.thunder-rain.com Tel: 1(225)686-2002 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
