Fixing “Unknown Table” Error post MySQL database corruption
InnoDB database engine saves all the data in the form of pages, linked in a B-tree structure. The pages in the B-tree structure are arranged in a way that each page has it entry in its Index node. These pages contain actual data stored in the InnoDB tables. Since these tables are updated very frequently, it requires special treatment to handle the B-tree structure. Corruption in this structure can occur due to various reasons like, MySQLD improper shutdown, virus attack, operating system malfunction, and human errors. In such situations, the data saved in the InnoDB table becomes inaccessible. To access the data after InnoDB corruption, a simple way is to restore the data from an updated backup. However, inaccessibility of table backup or backup falling short of restoring the required data, requires an advanced third-party MySQL Repair application.
