Excellent post. Nope, this isn’t spamm-o-rama, but a sincere thanks. I did have to ensure that I put a — in front of all the mysqlcheck options command. I was running over 100% cpu (didn’t know that that was possible, lol), but it was. Seems to have help!

Thanks, Frank

hi all i disliked phpMyAdmin’s interface so i decided i would built a new MySQL manager like the MySQL query browser. please if you have a change can you give it a try
github ->https://github.com/sucaritas/MyXQuery
LIVE DEMO -> http://www.farfile.com/Demos/MyXQuery/
it works like the MySQL query Browser (ctrl+enter to execute a query)
you can right click on the tree for other things too.

I’m glad to hear it!

The command you’ve mentioned probably doesn’t work because there may be a password associated with the root user. Say if your password is “jeronimo” then the command needs to look like this – notice the absence of a space in between “-p” and “jeronimo”:

mysqlcheck -u root -pjeronimo –auto-repair –check –optimize –all-databases

Thanks for sharing

Some of my tables in my chat room db crashed. I was given the following command to repair all tables at once. The developer of my chat software gave it to me and said it worked.

mysqlcheck -u root -p –auto-repair –check –optimize –all-databases

It didn’t work. It may work with phpadmin but using the mysql command prompt it doesn’t work.

The good news for me is that your commands worked great and fixed my chat room db problems.

Thanks a bunch.
