Hello everyone,

While one of our engineers was testing shutdown/startup scripts for our
database, the database got horribly corrupted.  We ran isamchk and it
"fixed" the problem, but hundreds of our rows got deleted.  The engineer
ran:

mysqladmin shutdown

Did the problem occur because he didn't flush the tables first?  Any other
ideas?
