Recover A Password
Is there a way to recover a lost password in Mysql 4.1. I have seen many
articles and howto's on how to kill the Mysql process and then restart using
skip grant tables option. I am not trying to reset the password but rather
recover it. Resetting the password to something else would cause a problem
some of the underlying programs that rely on MySQL. I don't feel like
changing code for every application that is using MySQL in my site.
Also along similar lines. What if I were to kill the MySQL process and then
reload with the skip grant tables option and login to the MySQL server.
Could I create another account with root priviledges, such as admin, while
not messing with the original root account or it's password.
Lastly is there a way to copy just the grant tables information to another
copy of MySQL so that I can experiment with this process on a non production
box?

Recover Databases
I was able to recover what appears to be the MySQL data folder from my hard drive (which was in a Ubuntu 6.06 laptop that just got it's motherboard fried). It has the databases names as folders with .myd, .myi & .frm files inside them. How do I restore/import my databases?

Recover Data
i was running a mysql database on my local machine which decided to stop working. i was able to recover the files from the hard drive and load them to another computer. now, i would like to install mysql on this computer and ideally set up the same table structure and somehow import the data. is this possible? i never actively backed up any data but i figure that when it was added to the db, it must be stored somewhere in that system.

Recover Or Track
i have been working on a project online and three people had access to the panel, Client, my co-programmer and Me. we had created database and that was fully working with website on saturday when we left our office. Client has been playing with panel as sometimes he created new tables and sometimes he tested ready made softwares available in panel. when we checked today all the tables from database has been deleted and there is no table. which means a lot of work for us again to create that database. Can I track who has deleted tables and when? I am sure Client has done this while trying his bad skills. Also is there anyway to recover those deleted tables? i have phpmyadmin installed on panel.

How To Recover A Database
I'm running MediaWiki on our intranet at work. I recently upgraded our server from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.4. In the process the MySQL default database location appears to have been moved, so MediaWiki couldn't see its database. I've subsequently got the MySQL up and running again and I've also subsequently reinstalled MediaWiki (but to a more recent version than before the system upgrade), giving it a new database. My question is, having found the old database in a directory call wiki (but with no .sql suffix), consisting of the files as pasted below, how do I recover it for the latest version of MediaWiki I have installed? I've tried simply moving the database to the new location and attempting to open it with phpMyAdmin but I can't even do this, it said "No tables found in database," and: Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in /Library/WebServer/>Documents/phpMyAdmin/libraries/mysql_wrappers.lib.php on line 104 Error SQL-query : SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `wiki-two` MySQL said: #12 - Can't read dir of './wiki-two/' (Errcode: 13) This is also being discussed at: Code:

They could not restore the mysql database from tape. However, I have the database files. I installed mysql 5 and place the files into the new dir. I can use the command line and change the database,and I can show the tables, but if I try to select all from a table, it will say that the table doesn't exist.

Recover InnoDB Data
I'm running a fudforum and originally had MySQL setup to create InnoDB tables by default. I somehow got the idea that I should have the tables default to MyISAM so I changed my.ini to do that. I then ran an update on my fudforum. The update apparently recreated most of the tables. So now the tables are MyISAM where before they were InnoDB. Now they are also devoid of data! It appears as though the IBdata1 file still exists in the MySQL InnoDB Datafiles directory. I don't know if that's relevant or not. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get that data back into my tables? I tried changing a couple back to InnoDB but that didn't seem to help.

Recover Table Contents
I have been maintaining a mysql db on our company website for some time (about a year). I am not a mysql master and all i know are basic (command line) navigation statements, insert, delete, update statements and little else. i was just updating an id number (uploadid) in a table which contains all of our files stored in the db for download. i entered this statement: update content set uploadid = 408 where uploadid -64; you can see the problem. i put a - instead of an = . the moment i saw what i did i pressed Crtl+C to stop it (hopefully). I got a message "Aborted". This (seemingly) removed the entire table (all 455MB worth). There's a lot of things I cannot replace that were stored in there. I have a backup of all the site Directories i have unzipped. I was just looking in the mysql sub-dir on the server (a a linux box) and in the db folder "lava" are a list of files ending in .frm .myi and .myd . There are 3 files corresponding to each table in the db. The ones that concern me are upload.frm (9 kb) upload.myi (8 kb) and upload.myd (441.80 MB). From what I am seeing, apparently the content of the table is still intact, but does not show up when i enter a "select * from upload;" statement at the cmd line. Is there ANY way for me to restore the table contents from the .myd file so that the rest of the db sees it again? I'm depserate and I'm not sure that I can get everything working again by copying the backup over the existing dir contents. This is the first time I have ever tried to restore a broken table in a db, since i'm a graphic designer not a db guy, i'm not sure what i can do.

Recover Database From Ibdata1?
The hard-drive of our web server has kicked the bucket - but I've managed to drag off copies of all of the web related files. As far as MySQL goes, I just have three files... ibdata1 ib_logfile0 ib_logfile1 If its possible... what is the best method to reconstruct a working MySQL database from these files? Lots of posts say you can just drop these files into the "data" folder. So I installed a new copy of MySQL, dragged the files across and restarted the MySQL service.. but now what? I'm running MySQL 5.0 on a Windows box with all of the MySQL GUI tools installed.

Recover F Failed Data Load
I was loading a huge table in chunks of 10 datafiles. I have turned off the indexes for the load. I was loading using 'load data infile ... into table ..' On loading my 6th chunk, since it took 4 times the time taken by prev loads, I killed it, only to see that it actually had ~ 6 times the content. I went on to load files 7,8,9 and 10 after killing the sixth. So I think I have all the data except that 30% of data from 6th chunk. Is there any way I can load this remaining data into mysql? Perhaps after turning the indexing on, I would like to load the 6th chunk such that mysql ignores existing content, and loads only the new content. Let me know how to achieve this. Is there any "ignore" settings that I can manipulate to achieve this?

Deleted InnoDB Data Files, How Can I Recover Them?
I was meddling with InnoDB configuration and since MySQL was complaining about the new settings because it needed to create new "ibdata" files, I deleted them thinking it would grab the existing database and add the tables on it. Now my DB is corrupted and, while I can see it exists (using phpMyAdmin), there seems to be no tables in it. What can I do? Do I have to re-create my DB manually?

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a subdomain. I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by 'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd'). I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e. I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5 sums. The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot add a mysql db. So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password. I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'" and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt password in there but it doesn't work like that. Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a crypt hash of it. I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.

Search And Write, Or Write And Recover?
The problem: I need to generate a 'unique string' for each row in a table. I already use auto_increment for system dependencies between tables. What is the best approach one of these or another? After generating a candidate 'unique string' the two strategies that came to mind are: 1. to then search the table's column to see if it is already assigned; locking the table for write while searching and writing the new row, or 2. set the column to UNIQUE when defining the table. Just go ahead and write the new row if you get a "non-unique" exception, generate another 'unique string' and try again. I've tried both on a small XP laptop and get "lock timeout exceptions" rather quickly using #1. But replace those with lots of re-writes when there starts to get "collisions" of 'unique string's.

Password()
we just moved our websites over to another datacenter and in the process noticing that we are having troubles logging into some of our sites. Just as a quick test I manually updated a test user's password to password=password('hello') but the funny thing is when I try to login with hello, no record found. I echo the query and paste it into mysql and it shows empty results. SO I then queried for it to show me the record for this user and it shows the encrypted password to start with an * and then all characters are CAPS. No matter what I update the password to, this is the case. All alpha chars are caps and the pass starts off with an *. Has anyone run into this before? All of this worked before and our data looks ok in our tables but if you update the pass, it screws it up bad.
