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.
