I've just loaded 100,000 products into a MySQL DB. This morning all the MySQL databases on the same have crashed, not just the one I used for PT.
Coincidence?
It wasn't directly caused by PT. By adding the product feeds it took me over my storage limit and as such it stopped all PHP reuests from working.
I've cleaned up the old log files and have freed up some space so all is back normal now.
Hi,
That is strange. MySQL holds tables as individual files on disk, so it should not be the case that corruption in one table causes any further problems. Likewise, it's normally "tables" that crash, not "databases", so this would indicate something else has been invoked to block access to the database entirely.
What is the manifestation of the crash - in other words are you seeing any error messages; is your database admin tool not working for example?
Cheers,
David.
