Tables missing from MySQL database after removing then restoring the mysql data direcory
I Carried out the following operations.
make mysqldump of testdb
# Stop service
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
# Create copy of directory
cd /var/lib
cp -R mysql mysql.backup
# Delete datafile on disk
rm -rf mysql/testdb
# Start service
/etc/init.d/mysql start
At this stage I was going to import testdb again from the mysqldump however we wanted to roll back for an unrelated reason so I restored the mysql file
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
rm -rf mysql/
cp -R mysql.backup mysql
# Restore ownership and permissions
chown -R mysql:mysql mysql
chmod -R 700 mysql
At this point testdb shows up if I run show databases;
and it shows tables but doesn't appear to contain data any more.
Is this recoverable or am I wasting my time? I have the option of refreshing the db from prod
