Hello, I get the following error when trying to access a table created of TYPE=MERGE mysql> describe yy; ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'yy.MRG'. (errno: 143) Reducing the number of colums in the tables to be merged removed the problem. Any ideas gratefully received, Dave ( MySQL version: 3.23.52 ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
