Structure lost

[Martin Poirier]

Hi,

my hosting compagny did have a problem and now I'm not able to retrieve (make a backup) of my database. I did try so code and figure out that the mysql system is not able to have acces to the structure of the table
(it's freeze when I execute a "SHOW CREATE TABLE table_name" but I'm able to retrieve the table list via the function mysql_list_tables(data_base_name) of php)

Could someone give me a track of how I could recover the data, I still have the structure in a file that I first use to create the table, is there a way to recharge this without erasing the data ?

Thanks for your help

Martin
