Had to rebuild my laptop this weekend. Made sure to make a backup copy of /var/lib/mysql/*. Loaded on the mysql binary tar (as gentoo doesn't have 4.1.3 in portage yet), and copied my data back across.
However, even with the innodb files in place, the mysql engine is saying things like: Didn't find any fields in table 'company_addresses' Didn't find any fields in table 'company_contacts' I realise that this is probably because you're not meant to copy innodb files around :> Is there any way I can recover the structures (ie, create table statements) - the data is irrelevant and can be recreated easily. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
