[snip] Is my data inside the "frm" file or in another file? How can I access and retrieve my data? [/snip]
The data is not in the frm files. If you are using myisam tables the data is in the myd files and the indexes are in the myi files. Assuming the files didn't get badly damaged, you should be able to copy the directory for each database you need to recover into the mysql datadir on another host or the same host after you get it fixed. You will probably have to use myisamchk to repair the indexes. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/myisamchk-syntax.html You will want to do all of this with mysql stopped. --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
