Hello All,

I am testing and using the shareware NT MySQL 3.21.29. I have a database
with four tables.

As a test, today I ran "Isamchk -r -v table1" on one of the tables. The
table was fine before running Isamchk, but after it was messed up. The
second (of two records) was no longer visible (verified this with the
utility MyAdmin), but when I tried to insert a record using the primary key
value that would have been assigned to the second record (Rec="R2"), it
would not let me. After a little more playing and running isamchk -ro, the
first record disappeared also.

So I tried the same things on a second table from the same database.
Essentially the same corruptions were repeated.

Should I be able to run Isamchk -e or -r or -ro on a good table and not
have the table corrupted?

Thanks,
Barry.


Thanks much,
Barry.
