I have a problem when I backup my database from old server to the new one. Both run Ubuntu. The difference is the old database is using phpmyadmin 1.6.3 and the new one is 5.7.21. I lost some tables but it appear in the sidebar. Can anyone describe to me what is going on with my db? Here is the screenshot.
to be clear, here is the screenshot of my old database phpmyadmin interface.
You may try stop and start the mysqld service.
If the error still exists then back up the database file and drop it then import again to a newly created database.
**commands may be OS specific
follow instructions from : MySQL Site
I recently downloaded XAMPP on my Mac, running Yosemite. Once installed, I tried to use phpmyadmin. I was able to create a database and in the SQL tab create a Table for the database using the "CREATE TABLE ..." query, but I cannot view that database or any of the databases that came loaded with the program. Anytime I click on the database name on the left hand side, I get an error saying that
"#1932 - Table pma__tracking does not exist in engine"
This error also occurs when I try to run "select * ..." queries from the SQL tab.
I have tried altering the config.inc.php file as suggested in other posts, and this did not work. I tried importing the create_tables.sql from the example folder and it gives the same error.
I am able to write .php scripts to query the database created and to add/retrieve data from it, but I cannot do any of this through the phpmyadmin tool, which would be very helpful, and I think might cause more problems later in my development.
Any thoughts on how to configure/set up phpmyadmin to work as its supposed to?
Thanks in advance.
You have to do both: use the .sql script to create these configuration storage tables, and specify their name in config.inc.php. Afterwards, log out and log in to see the effect.
I have created a GameCenter type database in sequel pro using root, but for some reason every now and again I get the following errors when connecting to the database and trying to access the tables:
An error occurred while retrieving the information for
table 'Achievement'. Please try again.
MySQL said: Table 'gamecenter2.achievement'
doesn't exist
I have looked around and most people say it is a problem that occurs when copying a database from one place to another however I am not doing that.
In terminal using MySQL the database and tables all show up but I get the same error when trying to access a table's contents:
SHOW COLUMNS FROM Achievement;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'gamecenter2.achievement' doesn't exist
Any help with this would be really appreciated as running the CREATE TABLES and INSERT over and over is getting quite tiresome!
I've had the same problem recently (and same error message in sequel pro) and have since discovered that it is because certain types of MySQL databases (i.e. those using InnoDB) store the actual data for individual tables outside in a file named "ibdata1" (you can read more on this here: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/15531/why-does-innodb-store-all-databases-in-one-file). Thus, if you restore individual folders for your database(s) using time machine, you are actually just restoring empty database architectures without the good stuff inside. If you haven't also restored that "ibdata1" file along with the appropriate "ib_logfile" files it won't be able to find the data. The solution is to make sure you've also restored those files (or a recent good copy).
Do also make sure you stop the mysql service before restoring anything, i.e. "mysql.server stop" from the command line (or "launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist" if you've installed mysql using homebrew).
One of my db have tables around 10000(temporary use).
But what it has done that opening phpmyadmin become slow and my version is "2.6.0-pl2".
Because of this version I cannot use skip_db option of phpmyadmin.
So I decided to have a new user with permission to all database except one but I don't know how to do that.
So can someone tell me how to write grant to all db with skipping just one db ?
There is no need to create a user for this problem.
use show database command and you will get list of db.
In phpmyadmin version "2.6.0-pl2" , you can use show_db variable and set all tables there are your problem will be solved
I am using windows XP. I am creating a table in phpMyAdmin using its built-in create table feature,
my database name is ddd.
It generates the following code:
CREATE TABLE `ddd`.`mwrevision` (
`asd` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`sddd` INT NOT NULL
) ENGINE = INNODB;
and the following error shows up:
MySQL said:
#1146 - Table 'ddd.mwrevision' doesn't exist
What might be the problem?
I also had same problem in past. All had happend after moving database files to new location and after updating mysql server. All tables with InnoDB engine disappeared from my database. I was trying to recreate them, but mysql told me 1146: Table 'xxx' doesn't exist all the time until I had recreated my database and restarted mysql service.
I think there's a need to read about InnoDB table binaries.
I had the same problem and can't get a good tip for this over the web, so I shared this for you and for all who needs.
In my situation I copy a database (all files: frm, myd) to the data folder in MySQL data folder (using Wamp at home). All thing was OK until I want to create a table and have the error #1146 Table '...' doesn't exist!.
I use Wamp 2.1 with MySQL version 5.5.16.
My solution:
Export the database to file;
verify if exported file is really OK!!;
drop the database where I have issues;
create a new database with the same name that the last;
import the file to the database.
FOR ME IS PROBLEM SOLVED. Now I can create tables again without errors.
Restarting MySQL works fine for me.
In my case I ran this command even if the table wasn't visible in PhpMyAdmin :
DROP TABLE mytable
then
CREATE TABLE....
Worked for me !
Check filenames.
You might need to create a new database in phpmyadmin that matches the database you're trying to import.
I had the same problem. I tried to create a table in mysql and got the same error. I restarted mysql server and ran the command and was able to create/migrate table after restating.
Today i was facing same problem. I was in very difficult situation but what id did i create a table with diffrent name e.g (modulemaster was not creating then i create modulemaster1) and after creating table i just do the rename table.
I encountered the same problem today. I was trying to create a table users, and was prompted that ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table users doesn't exist, which did not make any sense, because I was just trying to create the table!!
I then tried to drop the table by typing DROP TABLE users, knowing it would fail because it did not exist, and I got an error, saying Unknown table users. After getting this error, I tried to create the table again, and magically, it successfully created the table!
My intuition is that I probably created this table before and it was not completely cleared somehow. By explicitly saying DROP TABLE I managed to reset the internal state somehow? But that is just my guess.
In short, try DROP whatever table you are creating, and CREATE it again.
As pprakash mentions above, copying the table.frm files AND the ibdata1 file was what worked for me.
In short:
Shut your DB explorer client (e.g. Workbench).
Stop the MySQL service (Windows host).
Make a safe copy of virtually everything!
Save a copy of the table file(s) (eg mytable.frm) to the schema data folder (e.g. MySQL Server/data/{yourschema}).
Save a copy of the ibdata1 file to the data folder (i.e., MySQL Server/data).
Restart the MySQL service.
Check that the tables are now accessible, queryable, etc. in your DB explorer client.
After that, all was well. (Don't forget to backup if you have success!)
Column names must be unique in the table. You cannot have two columns named asd in the same table.
run from CMD & %path%=set to mysql/bin
mysql_upgrade -u user -ppassword
Recently I had same problem, but on Linux Server. Database was crashed, and I recovered it from backup, based on simply copying /var/lib/mysql/* (analog mysql DATA folder in wamp). After recovery I had to create new table and got mysql error #1146. I tried to restart mysql, and it said it could not start. I checked mysql logs, and found that mysql simply had no access rigths to its DB files. I checked owner info of /var/lib/mysql/*, and got 'myuser:myuser' (myuser is me). But it should be 'mysql:adm' (so is own developer machine), so I changed owner to 'mysql:adm'. And after this mysql started normally, and I could create tables, or do any other operations.
So after moving database files or restoring from backups check access rigths for mysql.
Hope this helps...
The reason I was facing this was because I had two "models.py" files which contained slightly different fields.
I resolved it by:
deleting one of the models.py files
correcting references to the deleted file
then running manage.py syncdb
I got this issue after copying mytable.idb table file from another location. To fix this problem I did the following:
ALTER TABLE mydatabase.mytable DISCARD TABLESPACE;
Copy mytable.idb
ALTER TABLE mydatabase.mytable IMPORT TABLESPACE;
Restart MySql
I had the same issue. It happened after windows start up error, it seems some files got corrupted due to this. I did import the DB again from the saved script and it works fine.
I had this problem because of a trigger not working..Worked after I deleted the trigger.
In my case, MySQL's parameter; lower_case_table_names was configured = 0.
It causes queries related with using upper cases will not work.
For me it was a table name upper/lower case issue. I had to make sure that table case name matched in a delete query, table notifications was not the same as Notifications. I fixed it by matching table name case with query and what MySQLWorkbench reported.
What is wierd is that this error showed up in a worked sql statement. Don't know what caused this case sensitivity. Perhaps an auto AWS RDS update.
if you are modifying mysql bin->data dir's and after that, your database import will not works
so you need to close wamp and after that start wamp
now database import will work fine
Make sure you do not have a trigger that is trying to do something with the table mentioned in the error. I was receiving Error Code: 1146. Table 'exampledb.sys_diagnotics' doesn't exist on insert queries to another table in my production database. I exported the table schemas of my production database then searched for instances of exampledb.sys_diagnotics the schema SQL and found a debugging insert statement I had added to a table trigger in my development environment but this debug statement had been copied to production. The exampledb.sys_diagnotics table was not present on my production database. The error was resolved by removing the debug statement in my table trigger.
