Hi, there are some reasons why indexes will be flagged as bad - an index was created and than the db stops without regular shutdown; at restart time this index wouldn't be recreated but only flagged as bad to speed up the restart; this behaviour could be changed by setting the db parameter AUTO_RECREATE_BAD_INDEXES to YES - at the migration from version 7.3 to version >= 7.4 indexes containing only one column which could become null will be flagged as bad because of designe changes within indexes between 7.3 and 7.4 - hardware problems Kind regards Holger -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
