Table doesn't exist after CREATE TABLE

Question

I\'m trying to import this sql in my database name symfony

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ingredient (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(255)          


        

Answer 1

What worked for me was:

• Going to the folder xampp/mysql/data/database-name/
• You'll see only the .frm file. The files .MYD and .MYI are missing for empty tables.
• Delete the .frm file.
• Stop MySQL process and restart it.
• After that I was able to create the table.

The old version of xampp created tables in MyISAM format the new version as InnoDB!
