HELP: Table is now full of nulls, but MYD file still contains the data

Hi there,

I am having problems with a MyIsam table. It seems to have become corrupted. One column in one table is all of a sudden returning null for 90% of the values. However the MYD file for that table seems large enough and opening it indicates that there is data in the column now showing all the nulls.

I have copied the MYD file to a new database on a separate machine. And have the same problem. Further, repairing the table results in the MYD file being cleared as well (ie it becomes very small - as would be expected if the column in question were null for all rows).

Is there anyway of restoring data from a MYD table or somehow reading that file in via SQL or some MySql command?

Thanks very much for any help.

Regards,
Robin
