Hi

Suppose you have a table called mytable. Then using mySQL on LINUX you have three files describing this table: mytable.frm, mytable.ISD and mytable.ISM. Using mySQL on a Windows2000 system the files would be named such: mytable.frm, mytable.MYD and mytable.MYI. Since the files which describe mySQL tables have a different suffix on WIN2000, I ask myself whether the tables are still in ISAM or myISAM format. Is this format also valid for tables of MySQL on a WIN2000 OS or not? And if not, is there any tool (like isamchk) to repair damaged tables?
