Hello Sinisa, this has nothing to do with services. I have also tried this without creating a service and the result is the same. Normally the services are also stopped automatically when logging of, so I don't understand why I should stop it manually. Also I have tested this constantly by stopping and restarting the service without rebooting the PC (as I described in my bug report), with the same result. So this has nothing to do with services or with rebooting your PC (this was only how I found the bug). In my opinion this is a heavily bug, keeping in mind that restarting mysql after dropping/adding a column messes up your database ! Can you please check this ?
Kind regards, Ismaël -----Original Message----- From: Sinisa Milivojevic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Strange behaviour of mysqld after adding/dropping a column Cams Ismael writes: > * I have indeed installed MySQL as a service.

You have to stop a service before re-booting. Only then you will have no problems with MySQL. -- Regards, __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Fulltime Developer /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Larnaca, Cyprus <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
