Quick question about mysql

[TechBoyJK]

So, I used the mysql migration tool for the a db i designed in access. The migration tool found no problems. Anyways, I tried it on a db file that had about 8 tables. When it was done, I found a folder with the name of the db and files with the tablenames from the db. I am assuming the mysql keeps a db and its tables as a folder and files?

Thanks.

delete it and see what happens.

actually, chances are that you have no love in the programming forum is because nobody knows the answer.

but why not connect to it and make sure?

I'm not expert, but I think it depends on the table type used. I'm using MyISAM type tables and I get the same behavior (also files for indices for the tables which have them). I think it might be different with InnoDB table types.

Anyhow, why does it matter?
