WampServer

Well I would do that so at least you can then have more than one try at recovering this database.

Unfortunately you have to do something to recover this database in order to get MySQL to start again before you can backup all the others that you actually want.

With INNODB databases all the actual data goes into the same file 'ibdata1' in the \wamp\bin\mysql\{mysqlversion}\data folder. So unless you can recover the problem database you will not be able to get to the ones that you actually want to keep.

INNODB databases became the default as of MySQL 5.5 I believe, but that does not stop you specifying the database type when creating a table.

I ended up deleting all the woodruff_wp .idb tables and it started up fine after that.

Thanks for your help.

Ahh nice.

You didn't tell us you had innodb_file_per_table set.
