Question

I sure i deleted the table \'mysql\' in an accident , then have maked this error \"Table mysql.user dosen\'t exist\"

How can i fix it , or create a new table \'mysql

Answer 1

Note you did not just delete the table - you deleted the entire mysql permission database. You need to locate the script 'mysql_install_db'. This will recreate the mysql permissions database.

Be aware that by deleting and recreating the permission database - other applications may stop working because their users/etc no longer exist.
