I have a mysql database with at least two tables in it that I am working with - and this has NEVER happened before - where the results and updates don't show. I run this command:
flush tables;
and the updates show. ALL tables are MyISam - no innodb, I don't even use innodb.
same thing when I need to add a field; I get an error message saing incorrect data definition or similar, and suggesting I try to repair the table. I then run:
flush tables;
repair table finan_items;
and sometimes the fields were added but only then show, other times they need to be added again.
any idea what is going on here?
thanks,
Sam
