You want --loose-skip-innodb. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/command-line-options.html If an option is prefixed by --loose, a program does not exit with an error if it does not recognize the option, but instead issues only a warning: $ mysql --loose-no-such-option mysql: WARNING: unknown option '--no-such-option' -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
