The built-in InnoDB in MySQL can only open tables that were created in REDUNDANT
or COMPACT
format. Starting with MySQL version 5.0.21, an attempt to
open a table in some other format results in
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table '
.
Furthermore, a message “test.t
' doesn't
existunknown table type
” appears in the error log.
In the InnoDB Plugin, you may rebuild an incompatible table
by issuing a statement
ALTER TABLE
.
table_name
ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT
