alex3 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've a had a system problem and can only access the hard drive, not the OS (I can't boot in to it). I can access what I think is my old database. It's OS X I can't access, but I can see the drive contents in Ubuntu. Using MAMP, I've found the DB in /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/database_name. The permissions on this folder are such that I can't see it's contents in nautilus but using ls in the terminal I can see a db.opt file, and three files for each table in the database, in this form: table_name.frm, table_name.MYD, table_name.MYI. How can I recover the data in these files and put them in a new database? Ideally, I'm looking to 'convert' these files in SQL commands I can just put into phpMyAdmin and recreate the tables.

Cezar708 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 You can create a new DB on existing OS (with the same name as "the broken one"). Next find the files of your new-created db and just copy all files from broken OS into new location. Finally you can run mysql dump.
