subject: Repair Command Resulting In can't Open File Error Message [print this page] Table corruption or damage is one of the most difficult situations that a database user can expect. Corruption in tables can occur due to various ways like, unexpected MySQL server shutdown, virus attack, and network failure. In most of the table corruption scenarios, you encounter an error message that stops you to access its records. This error message can be easily dealt by restoring the records from an updated and complete backup. However, if the backup file does not help you in restoring the correct or desired records, then you will need to use Repair command to repair your table. But, if the repair command also falls short, then you will need to search for an advanced third-party mysql database repair application that can repair your database and restore the required table.
Consider a practical scenario, where your MySQL database table gets corrupted and you use the below command to repair your table:
.Repair Table Tablename;
However, when you run the above command, the table instead of repairing, displays another error message mentioned below:
.Can't open file: Tablename (errno: 130 )
The above error message makes the data stored in your table inaccessible. In addition, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to run the repair command.
Cause
Clearly, the error message indicates that the table could not be found and therefore could not be repaired. This happens in the case of severe table corruption.
Resolution
To resolve the above error message and access the data when the Repair command fails, you will need to restore the data from an updated backup. But, in case of absence of backup file, you will need to opt for powerful MySQL Database Repair software to repair the corrupted database.
