Restore mysql table from only .MYD file?

Hello it is possible to restore table from only .MYD file? Probably not, but still maybe some know how :)

    if you'd google that question and read carefully you'd learn that you'd need the .frm (which holds the structure of your table ) and .myd (which holds the values) but can skip the .myi which holds the index and can be regenerated.

    so answer to your question probably is: if you are able to recreate the table-structure you might be able to just drop in your .MYD and recover your data.

    recreating the missing structure could be done by either recovering the .frm or creating the table by using that part out of an old dump if available. or if that table is part of a known cms/software you may be able to just reinstall a dummy to get your hands on the missing .frm and so on.

    Thanked by 2abytecurious xrz
