How to repair mysql database or tables of the database?

Guys,

I usually use following command to repair all the tables of the databases of a user.

=========
[root@server /var/lib/mysql]#for i in `ll |grep bigchakr|awk '{print $9}' |cut -d/ -f1`; do for j in `mysql -e "use $i; show tables;"|grep -v -`; do mysql -e "use $i; repair table $j;"; done done;
=========

User : bigchakr, please replace this user. It'll repair all the tables of all the DB of that user.

You can use myisamchk command to repair the DB. Here is the comamnd :

========
[root@server /var/lib/mysql]# myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/bigchakr_content/*.MYI
========

Note : bigchakr_content is the name of the DB. You can use following command.

========
[root@server /var/lib/mysql]# for i in `ll |grep bigchakr|awk '{print $9}'`; do myisamchk -r $i/*.MYI ; done
========

I don't prefer myisamchk since sometime it doesn't give good results.

Try. :)
