使用frm数据文件还原mysql,从.frm文件还原mysql数据库

I have dumped all my tables everyweek to got the backup. But later I understand that it is only storing the .frm file of the table. It is not showing .MYD and .MYI files of a table. So I have only my .frm file of the database with me and also mydatabase is innodb. So can I get my database with data in the database?

Yes this is possible. It is not enough you just copy the .frm files to the to the databse folder but you also need to copy the ib_logfiles and ibdata file into your data folder. I have just copy the .frm files and copy those files and just restart the server and my database is restored.

After copying the above files execute the following command -

sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

The above command will change the file owner under mysql and it's folder to MySql user. Which is important for mysql to read the .frm and ibdata files.
