From: a bv Date: June 18 2012 11:25am Subject: Restoring database files List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/227692 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I have a mysql database , which tables are archived and i remove some files (montly data, .frm .MYD, .MYI) from the servers disk to an external storage. And i also drop or flush these tables from phpmyadmin. If i need to look and query these offline mysql files what i need to do after copying the files back to the mysql path of the server? Regards
