MySQL Database broken - how can I fix it ?
« on: June 08, 2009, 09:28:54 pm »
Hi,

had a power failure and as the server came up again the MySQL database was broken.

I assume I just have to drop an INDEX and recreate it, but would need the SQL to do that ...

see "index PRIMARY of table pluto_main/DesignObjVariation_DesignObjParameter" i log below :

Code: [Select]

Hi Viking,

It's probably not what you want to hear but I think your best bet is to reload.

If a MySQL guru has any other ideas?

Sorry buddy!

Somewhere in the forums there is a post that explains how to drop the entire database, and rebuild it from the installation files (basically importing some schema and db templates used during the initial build) but I can't remember where that post was... perhaps do some searching?

You could just try checking the tables and repairing the crashed ones from the mysql prompt like this:
Code: [Select]
CHECK TABLE <tablename>;
REPAIR TABLE <tablename>;
See the (online) mysql documentation for more info.

Hi,

thanks for you replys :)

Unfortunatly one can not use "REPAIR TABLE" - at least that is what MySQL tells me when trying. "Note: it is not possible on this type of database" (or was it table - don't remember exactly)


It came down to finding out wht was broken. I did it like this.

1. mysqlcheck --all-databases

tells me what database is broken - in my case it is pluto_main

2. mysqldump pluto_main >/tmp/db_sql_dump.sql

Dumps the sql that is needed to recreate the database. It then stops at the ponit where the DB is broken. Above the end of the log there then is the code to drop and recreate the broken table. It is then empty and data has to be filled again.

In my case these thre tables was broken :

DesignObjVariation_DesignObjParameter
DeviceTemplate_DeviceData
psc_dce_batdet


Does anyone know what is in these three tables ? The question is if makes sence to import just these three from the last "backup" (cold copy of the mysql directory) ? Or should I rather start over with a fresh database ?

Can I find an Database documentation anywhere ?

Greetings
Viking

Example how the drop/recreate part looks :
Code: [Select]
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `DesignObjVariation_DesignObjParameter`;
CREATE TABLE `DesignObjVariation_DesignObjParameter` (
  `FK_DesignObjVariation` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `FK_DesignObjParameter` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `Value` text,
  `FK_Skin` int(11) default NULL,
  `FK_Language` int(11) default NULL,
  `Ignore` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  `psc_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `psc_batch` int(11) default NULL,
  `psc_user` int(11) default NULL,
  `psc_frozen` tinyint(1) default '0',
  `psc_mod` timestamp NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `psc_restrict` int(11) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`FK_DesignObjVariation`,`FK_DesignObjParameter`),
  UNIQUE KEY `psc_id` (`psc_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Hi Colin,

Somewhere in the forums there is a post that explains how to drop the entire database, and rebuild it from the installation files (basically importing some schema and db templates used during the initial build) but I can't remember where that post was... perhaps do some searching?

Only found how to recreate the media Database :
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6408.0

Would the rest work the same way ?

Hi,

I also found this quite old sqlCVS post :
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2973.msg14725#msg14725

Is that the way of doing it ? I would not like to get an 0810 database ;)

I used SQLCVS revert the other day on 710 to restore a corrupted template...and it worked great...but I didn't have a lot to lose because my Core wasn't highly customized.  I did it several times and it worked fine.  Go to the WebAdmin interface, Advanced, SQLCVS, Diff.  YMMV...back up your data.

Hi Uni,

thanks :) learned something new.
took a look with the web page and looks good - I think the only changes I see there are the ones I have made myself.
