Hey all, I've got a huge VB forum built on Innodb that had a server crash (i.e. previous admin didn't know how to upgrade Gentoo). So, now I've got the old DB on ver 5.1. When we try to fire up the DB without inndb_force_recovery, it simply crashes with innodb pages and whatnot. Seems like its very row specific. I can run down through all the tables with a check and only the error'd ones cause me problems. Since I have to use inndb_force_recovery, I can't really change anything or try to recover. Even a mysql dump crashes mysqld.
So My question is... Has someone written or found a script that can recreate an entire DB via row by row insertion? I think if I can insert the good rows, and just let mysql crash and restart when I hit a bad row, I can assume I'll get most of my data back.
Any other suggestions? I keep telling myself, there has to be a better way, but I've yet to find any forum suggestion that can complete without mysqld crashing.
The system is now running Ubuntu 12 with mysqld 5,5. I have full root access and phpMyAdmin access as well, not that it helps since it crashes mysqld even worse.
TIA
Tim
