Re: How to delete encoders from mythtv database
[In reply to]

Hi Mike,
Fixed, thank you for the points - I really didn't want to start over
again :(
Basically I backed up the broken database, them created a separate
"tablname".sql for each table in the database using a script like the
following.
=== Start ====
#!/bin/sh
filename="tables.txt" # This is a file that contains tables names - 1
per line
backup="backup.sql" # contains a backup of the original database
cat $filename| \
while read line;do
if [ -n "$line" ]; then
# echo "-> $line"
echo "grep \"INSERT INTO \`$line\` \" "$backup" > \"tmp/${line}.sql\""
grep "INSERT INTO \`$line\` " "$backup" > "tmp/${line}.sql"
mysql -u root mythconverg < tmp/${line}.sql
fi
done
===========
When I got Duplicate keys, I removed that table name from the tables.txt
file, then restored the 'new clean" database and re-ran the above script
- so I get no errors - managed to keep 60 tables - so I'm a happy camper.
Anyway, thanks for you help, very very much appreciated.
Albert.
