Don't know if this is related but database drop can run into trouble if there are foriegn key relationships. My understanding is that Drop Database in Mysql deletes tables in a random order, and so if it tries to delete the wrong parent/child table before the correct one there will be an error and it misses that table from the drop. Re-running the drop command it then selects the tables again in a different order and you might get lucky and it delete them all (at which point it drops the database).
There is a better description of this problem in the user comments here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/drop-database.html Antony PS How did anyone ever learn to program before the invention of search able online help forums? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Insoshi developer site: http://dogfood.insoshi.com/ Insoshi documentation: http://docs.insoshi.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Insoshi" group.
