Re: tranffer innoodb files

[Gene Meyers]

1) The innodb files that automatically got created are the SAME carousel_press files (based on size) that I am tryign to recover. So the question is why, after dropping database carousel_press and after moving these innodb files to a different directory, and after shutting down mysqld, did they automatically reappear after restarting mysqld. I feel there must be some other place where these old files are referenced.

2) I created the save_cp database just to backup the smaLL MyISAM-based carousel_press database I had created last week and which has a very few entries. I didn';t want to lose those after if did deleted the carousel_press database. I CAN access the save_cp database.

The mysql data directory has this structure:
mysql - directory
performance_schema - directory
save_cp - directory containing the MYD,MUI and FRM files I backed up from database carousel_press
test - directory
Gene-PC.err - 4KB file
Gene-PC.pid - 1KB file
ib_logfile0 - 5120FB file (from backup of old carousel_press database)
ib_logfile2 - 5120 KB file (" ")
ibdata1 - 18432 KB file (" ")
