[Bug 290630] New: mysql ISAM support
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290630#c75320 Summary: mysql ISAM support Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: poeml@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Hi Michal, I found this on 10.1, but I report it for 10.3 because I assume that it is the same there. /etc/init.d/mysql looks for obsolete "ISAM" type tables, and if it finds any, it will print a message about how to convert them: # check for ISAM tables tables=`find $datadir -name '*.ISM' | sed "s@$datadir/*@@; s@.ISM@@; s@/@.@;"` if test "$tables" ; then echo echo "Some tables still use ISAM format, please convert them to something " echo "better (eg. MyISAM). ISAM support will be dropped in future releases. " echo "You can use mysql_convert_table_format script to do this conversion. " echo echo "Tables using ISAM are: " echo " $tables " echo fi The problem is, that the conversion doesn't work anymore, because ISAM support doesn't seem to be compiled in anymore. ISAM support was once lost and reenabled in the past. See this change: * Fri Apr 01 2005 - mcihar@suse.cz - enable ISAM engine (bug #75320) - warn about existing ISAM tables (bug #75320) - fix init script to update MySQL tables on upgrade (bug #75321) Maybe ISAM support is no longer available, then the message could be changed, maybe into "please copy your tables onto a 4.x mysql installation (e.g. SuSE Linux 9.0) and do the conversion by hand)" -- which is what I actually did :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
