Although crude it is the following sequence going
to hurt any data
mysqladmin flush-tables
cp mydata/dbname /tmp
isamchk -r /tmp/dbname/*.ism
mysqladmin flush-tables
this table is not likely to have many updates (unless i make them)
if the files have not been modified since I copied them out
can I replace the files in the data directory with the repaired
ones?
basicaly I want to know if I can repair an isam table without
shutting down the db server? under any circumstances where
the db in question will only be read from while the repair is
in progress.
Thanks
Steve
