I am trying to figure out why an InnoDB table was lost when a DDL statement failed. I think it was a RENAME TABLE statement. I have yet to find the root cause but I did find that InnoDB doesn't report some errors when RENAME fails so the user thinks that the table was renamed, the FRM file is renamed, and the ibd file is not renamed. This is only a problem for files not in the InnoDB system tablespace so --innodb_file_per_table=1 must be used. This is bug 64144.
As I wrote in a previous blog post, it is time to add error injection tests to InnoDB.![]()
