wildteen88 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 What is the files listed in C:/MySQL/Data/handlessing/data/? There should be .frm files in there for your tables. Also the root of the mysql data folder should have files in there too. Mysql uses the files in the root of the data folder too. If Mysql isn't reading your databases still then they are corrupt and there is nothing you can do. You'll have to redo your databases from scratch.

MacUSA Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Although I see no indication of damaged databases, I guess I'm just going to have to accept it. This database does not belong to me. We host it. We were responsible for backing it up. Unknown to us, it appearrently required a special backup requirement. We cannot recreate the database. I seem to be able to convert it to Access with a $40 utility app. Seems odd if they are truly damaged. Perhaps the last thing I do to salvage this account is to convert the databases to Access and back to MySQL. I’ve already lost many hours troubleshooting. What’s another $40 and an hour to save a 5 year account? Thanks for all your help! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
