Is there a way to put a database offline? So doing i could work on it with myisamchk being sure that mysqld cannot touch the files... and no corruptions should happen!
I have heard of people doing stuff with locking tables so no-one can write
to them, flushing them to close the files, then running myisamchk and finally
releasing the lock.
That solution has always sounded a bit fishy to me, and I would hate having to automate such a process.
Why can't you use CHECK TABLE?
