[PHP] Where does mysql keep the records data
On my system the mysql and test databases are created in /var/db/mysql/ I created a database called publish and it likewise was stored in /var/db/mysql/publish. I needed to start over with the work on publish so I deleted the publish directory. #rm -R /var/db/mysql/publish. BUT after re-creating the tables all the records still existed, so the records weren't in /var/db/mysql/publish. Where is it? # rm -R /var/db/mysql/publish # mysqladmin create publish # mysql mysql use publish mysql CREATE TABLE eZAddress_AddressType ( ID int(11) NOT NULL, Name varchar(50), ListOrder int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, Removed int(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID) ); mysql INSERT INTO eZAddress_AddressType VALUES (1,'Home address',1,0); ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 Where dat data at? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should use drop database instead of manually removing the file. mysql drop database databasename --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Where does mysql keep the records data
To delete a database, the best thing to do is login to your mysql DB directly, ie: mysql -u root -p (the root user is the MySQL root, not the sytem root) and supply the password at the prompt. Then do: DROP DATABASE publish; This will delete it correctly. Something that I do is put all my table creations into a file and at the top I put DROP DATABASE name and then recreate it and all my tables. This will reset your database nicely and you can pipe this script into your mysql above, ie: mysql -u root -p scriptname Hope that helps.
